Professional Statement
I am broadly interested in metabolic adaptations and the immune microenvironment in chemoresistant triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). My goal is to improve our understanding of TNBC on the genomic level and apply this knowledge into developing targeted therapeutics.Websites
