Interests 

Metabolism, Diabetes & Cellular Resilience
I’m deeply interested in how cells regulate metabolism under stress, and how dysfunction in insulin signaling contributes to diseases like diabetes. My research explores conserved insulin/IGF pathways across humans and corals to understand glucose regulation, metabolic resilience, and stress adaptation.

Retinal Degeneration & Protein Misfolding
I study how GPCR misfolding leads to retinal diseases such as retinitis pigmentosa, using metabolomics and structural rescue strategies to uncover mechanisms and therapeutic angles.

Coral Biology & Climate Resilience
I’m passionate about revealing how corals survive environmental stress and how metabolic collapse during bleaching parallels human metabolic disorders.

Organoid Models, Biomaterials & Regenerative Biology
I’m excited about developing organoid systems, biomaterial scaffolds, and digital-twin concepts to model disease and personalize therapeutic strategies.

Entrepreneurship & Sustainable Innovation
As founder of the RenewedFlow concept, I enjoy building ideas that merge biology, sustainability, and societal impact.

Teaching, Mentoring & Scientific Communication
I love mentoring students and communicating science through talks, writing, and outreach that make complex ideas accessible.

Adventure & Well-Being
Outside of research, I enjoy kickboxing, hiking, traveling, and cultivating a grounded lifestyle that supports creativity and curiosity, mindfulness, and spirituality.
