Research summary
AI-generated

This researcher's work focuses on cancer biology, particularly how tumors develop drug resistance and how the immune system can be harnessed to fight cancer. Recent projects include studying engineered immune cell therapies (NK and T cell engagers) that target specific cancer proteins, and earlier work examined how a signaling pathway called FGFR helps breast cancer cells survive treatment and spread. The research spans laboratory studies of cancer cell mechanisms to translational work on developing new cancer immunotherapies.
