Research Perspective

From Biological Questions to Experimental Observations.

My research perspective is grounded in laboratory-based investigation. I am interested in understanding biological systems at the molecular and cellular levels while maintaining a strong connection between fundamental observations and practical applications.

This includes molecular biology, genome editing, cancer biology, protein science, microbial biotechnology and experimental approaches that can ultimately contribute to improved research methodologies, reagents, diagnostics or other biotechnology applications.
