I am a postdoctoral fellow at the National Cancer Institute (NCI), NIH, with expertise in molecular immunology, cancer biology, and host-microbiota interactions. I earned my Ph.D. in immunology and have over five years of research experience exploring immune signaling pathways involved in cancer. My current work focuses on how innate immune receptors like TLR4 influence epithelial homeostasis and tumor development. I have published in peer-reviewed journals and received multiple awards recognizing my research contributions. I am passionate about translational science and aim to develop innovative immunotherapies. Outside the lab, I enjoy hiking, nature photography, and exploring new trails.
