RESEARCH SUMMARY

I am a cancer immunologist with a keen interest in systems biology and the microbiome. My research focuses on understanding the impact of microbiota on cancer development, progression, and responses to therapy.

My lab's work aims to shed light on the intricate interactions between the microbiome, immune system and cancer, ultimately contributing to the development of more effective therapeutic strategies.
