This researcher studies how cells respond to stress at the molecular level, focusing on heat shock proteins (like Hsp90 and HSF2) and how these proteins help cancer cells survive treatment and become drug-resistant. The work also touches on related topics such as tumor-derived molecules used by the immune system and nanostructures designed to deliver cancer therapies more precisely. Overall, the research aims to understand mechanisms of cancer drug resistance and explore new therapeutic strategies.
Publication output was minimal before 2020, rose to a peak of several papers in 2020 and 2023, but has otherwise remained modest and somewhat irregular over the past decade.
