About

My expertise lies in the domains of biochemistry, biophysics, and cancer biology. We are interested in understanding how biomolecular interactions can alter functional behavior in healthy versus diseased conditions. We explore the structure-function-regulation relationship in higher-order assemblies, such as aggregates and condensates. This research advances fundamental biology by uncovering how dynamic biomolecular assemblies regulate cellular function, with direct relevance to disease mechanisms such as cancer and neurodegeneration, while guiding rigorous validation and future discovery.
