I am a biomedical researcher with over a decade of experience working in the fields of immunology, molecular biology, and inflammatory diseases. I am currently working on cutaneous malignancies, with an interest in understanding how chromosomal instabilities and skin-microbiome work as drivers of cancer progression and if targeting these instabilities and modulating the microbiome could be used as a target for novel therapies. I integrate patient genomic landscape analysis and microbiome analysis with innovative photobiologic and pharmacologic interference studies to identify key vulnerable nodes in cutaneous malignancies.
