Research Interests:
During my gap years at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, I studied the epigenetic and metabolic regulation of normal and malignant hematopoiesis. As I look ahead to my graduate years, I want to understand how cancers progress and metastasize, especially what that means for patients. I am interested in how metabolic adaptations within the tumor microenvironment shape disease aggressiveness and treatment resistance, and how these insights can be translated into more effective therapies.
