Professional Statement

My research combines multi-omics, systems biology, and network modeling to understand disease development and progression, with a focus on lung cancer and chronic lung disease. I study how biological sex, aging, and environmental exposures rewire gene regulation and influence disease risk and outcomes. My goal is to translate these insights into biomarkers, risk-prediction tools, precision prevention and therapeutic strategies.
