"My research aims to elucidate the epigenetic mechanisms that drive therapy resistance in neuroblastoma, with the ultimate goal of identifying novel therapeutic targets to improve patient outcomes. "

​

"The aim of my research is to analyze genomics and transcriptomics data to understand the gene expression and regulation mechanisms behind tumorigenesis in neuroblastoma.  "


​
​
"I'm interested in exploring neuroblastoma tumor heterogenity, and how this impacts individualized treatment and our overall understanding of neuroblastoma across different patients. ​"

​
​
"My research interest is to investigate the molecular basis of BORIS as an epigenetic modulator of therapeutic resistance and cancer aggressiveness." 




"I am focused on understanding the molecular mechanisms of genomic instability and epigenetic alterations in osteosarcoma.”



​
"My research focus is to investigate how cellular protein synthesis machinery and amplified MYCN  synergize at the level of translation regulation to drive unique gene expression programs and potentiate oncogenic activity in high risk neuroblastoma."





​"
My interests are vested in understanding chromatin features underlying aberrant gene expression in neuroblastoma (NB). The broad goal is to uncover the role of chromatin in driving the hallmark features of NB such as aberrant proliferation, impaired differentiation and immune evasion."
