Doctoral student in the School of Life Sciences at Arizona State University with a strong background in Immunology and Microbiology, and prior experience in translational immuno-oncology research. Demonstrated expertise in the preclinical development of immune modulatory therapeutics, including mechanistic studies, efficacy assessment, proof-of-concept validation, and IND-enabling experiments. Proficient in designing and executing in vitro bioassays, biomolecular interaction studies, and in vivo animal models to elucidate mechanisms of action.
Current doctoral research investigates the impact of maternal diet—specifically obesogenic environments—on the developmental programming of the offspring’s intestinal epithelium and its long-term consequences on colorectal cancer susceptibility. Broad research interests include the identification of cell-intrinsic and microenvironmental factors that influence therapeutic response in cancer, with a focus on immune–epithelial crosstalk and diet–microbiome–immune interactions in tumor initiation and progression.
