About me

I am a cancer researcher with a PhD in Molecular and Cellular Biology and Genetics. I aim to identify a cure for cancer by unraveling the key molecular differences between normal and cancer cells.

My current research objective is to define the mechanisms driving genome instability and tumor evolution in squamous cell carcinoma. To accomplish this goal, I integrate molecular and bioinformatic analyses of patient tissue and organoids.

Currently, I am an American Cancer Society Postdoctoral Fellow in the Hiroshi Nakagawa lab at Columbia University.
