Expertise

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).
