Research Interest

The scientific question that drives my research is how mutations that arise in cancer cells spread among cell subpopulations and, in the process, help shape its plasticity and the tumor microenvironment. I want to understand how cancer cells communicate with each other and with other cells, and how does it influence, and is influenced, by clinical events such as therapy and disease progression. H. pylori-related gastric carcinoma is one of the central models of research we use.
