My Interests
"My main research interest is in tumor immunology with a focus on using computational approaches for determining predictors of immunotherapy response. In addition, I am also interested in understanding metastatic disease progression and dissemination with a focus on examining the role of the immune system in promoting and inhibiting the formation of distal metastases particularly using single cell RNA sequencing data. Last, I hope to gain experience in the design and implementation of immunotherapy clinical trials, especially with immune checkpoint inhibitors and CAR-T cell therapies."
