Research summary
AI-generated

This researcher studies how cells within tumors communicate and change behavior over time, using tools like live-cell imaging, single-cell analysis, and 3D-printed tissue models to recreate tumor environments in the lab. The work combines cell signaling biology (how signals like EGFR-RAS-ERK move through cells) with engineering approaches to build more realistic models of early cancer and metastasis. Much of the research aims to understand and predict how individual cancer cells vary in behavior and gene expression, which relates to how tumors evolve and respond to treatment.
