Tao Yue, PHD

The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center – Assistant Professor

Dr. Tao Yue is an Assistant Professor in the Center for the Genetics of Host Defense and the Department of Immunology at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, as well as a faculty member of the Harold C. Simmons Comprehensive Cancer Center. Dr. Yue focuses on developing innovative cancer immunotherapies, with a particular emphasis on osteosarcoma. His research combines advanced tumor immunology, genetic screening, and molecular biology to design next-generation therapeutics targeting the tumor microenvironment.
He earned his PHD from UT Southwestern, where his research contributed to our understanding of tumor suppressor signaling pathways. Dr. Yue also completed his postdoctoral training in the laboratory of Nobel Laureate Dr. Bruce Beutler, where he established forward genetic screens in mice to identify critical regulators of T cell-mediated immunity.
