Stem cell and gene therapies for skeletal muscle regeneration
I study how molecular motors function and are regulated, and also a new pathway in the innate immune system to
Long-range cell-to-cell communication via specialized cellular protrusions in development/homeostasis and disease contexts
We develop super-resolution microscopy and spatial multiomics methods to study aging and cancer at from molecular to organ levels.
Understanding endolysosomal trafficking and sphingolipid biology and translating these discoveries into new therapies for cancer, obesity, and other diseases
RNA biology and engineering, synthetic biology, single molecule imaging and quantification
Identifying therapeutic vulnerabilities in solid malignancies harboring RB1 mutations, with special emphasis on epigenetics.
We are interested in how cells interact within tissues, and especially what is the molecular basis of cell competition, how
We study cancer signaling pathways and other disease-relevant regulatory pathways, focusing on protein kinases, scaffold proteins, and transcription factors. We
