She is a Member of the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research in Lausanne, Switzerland, where she has worked since January 2016. Her research investigates how the tumour microenvironment regulates cancer progression, metastasis and therapeutic response, with a particular focus on glioblastoma and brain metastases. The EACR board page lists Arkaitz Carracedo as President-Elect, Yardena Samuels as Past President, Caroline Dive as Treasurer and Andreas Trumpp as Secretary General.","asOf":"2026-09-10","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johanna_Joyce","links":[{"label":"Source: EACR board page","url":"https://www.eacr.org/governance/board"}],"tags":["leadership","clinician-scientist","immunology","society"],"related":[],"cancers":["glioblastoma"],"sections":[],"technologies":[],"targets":[],"drugs":[],"companies":[],"institutions":["eacr"],"pathways":[],"terms":[],"trials":[],"people":[],"bottlenecks":[],"keyPapers":[],"journals":[],"dependsOn":[],"notes":[],"role":"President of the European Association for Cancer Research (2026-2028)","institutionId":"eacr","specialisms":["Tumour immunology","Tumour microenvironment","Brain tumours","Cancer research policy"],"profiles":[{"label":"Institution profile","url":"https://www.ludwigcancerresearch.org/scientist/johanna-joyce/"},{"label":"PubMed","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=Joyce+JA%5BAuthor%5D"}],"papers":[{"title":"The Microenvironmental Landscape of Brain Tumors","journal":"Cancer Cell","year":2017,"doi":"10.1016/j.ccell.2017.02.009"},{"title":"Interrogation of the Microenvironmental Landscape in Brain Tumors Reveals Disease-Specific Alterations of Immune Cells","journal":"Cell","year":2020,"doi":"10.1016/j.cell.2020.05.007"},{"title":"T cell exclusion, immune privilege, and the tumor microenvironment","journal":"Science","year":2015,"doi":"10.1126/science.aaa6204"},{"title":"Quail and Joyce 2013: microenvironmental regulation of tumour progression and metastasis","journal":"Nature Medicine","year":2013,"url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/nm.3394","doi":"10.1038/nm.3394"}],"orcid":"0000-0002-6332-2598"},"route":"/people/johanna-joyce/","neighbours":{"cancer":[{"id":"glioblastoma","kind":"cancer","name":"Glioma & glioblastoma","route":"/cancers/glioblastoma/"}],"institution":[{"id":"eacr","kind":"institution","name":"European Association for Cancer Research","route":"/institutions/eacr/"}],"paper":[{"id":"paper-quail-joyce-microenvironment-metastasis-natmed-2013","kind":"paper","name":"Quail and Joyce 2013: microenvironmental regulation of tumour progression and metastasis","route":"/key-papers/paper-quail-joyce-microenvironment-metastasis-natmed-2013/"}],"term":[{"id":"microenvironment-inflammation-theory","kind":"term","name":"Microenvironment and inflammation: tumours as wounds that do not heal","route":"/terms/microenvironment-inflammation-theory/"}]}}
