Brief Description of Research Interest:
 

I am interested in studying how biophysical cues from the tumor microenvironment mediate cancer development, progression, metastasis, and dormancy in solid tumors. I aim to perform phenotypic and genotypic profiling of cancer cells in response to these biophysical cues in order to identify novel biomarkers, biophysical markers, and therapeutic targets against cancer to help improve cancer diagnostics and treatment.
