Areas of specialty:
- Molecular mechanisms of human disease
- Triple negative breast cancer
- Tumor immune microenvironment
- ADAM metalloproteases
Currently, our work is focused on ADAM12, a cell surface metalloprotease and adhesion molecule, as a novel marker and a potential point of intervention in BTICs.
Research in our laboratory is currently focused on understanding the molecular mechanisms responsible for immunosuppression in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC).
Research: Biochemistry & Molecular Biophysics – Studies cell-cell interactions and communications in cancer
Expertise: Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics - Studies molecular and cellular interactions within the breast tumor microenvironment
