Research Interests: I have spent most of my career at the interface of cell biology and engineering, in developing new strategies to recapitulate cell and tissue environments in disease states. Specifically, my strengths lie in multidimensional cancer biology, which I define as the integration of all the different dimensions (e.g., 3D architecture, cellular crosstalk, extracellular environment) in biological studies.
