About me
Immunology and microbiology research scientist with doctoral training in inflammation-associated carcinogenesis and postdoctoral experience in host-pathogen interactions, macrophage biology, and post-transcriptional gene regulation. Research expertise centers on macrophage polarization, alternative polyadenylation, bacterial pathogenesis, and translational immunology, with experience spanning molecular biology, flow cytometry, infection models, and cancer biology. .
Interests: Research Expertise • Macrophage biology and polarization; M1/M2 plasticity, inflammatory signaling, cytokine regulation, nitric oxide and arginase biology. • Post-transcriptional gene regulation; alternative polyadenylation, CFIm25/NUDT21 biology, 3' UTR regulation, RNA stability, and translational control. • Host-pathogen interactions; Salmonella infection biology, antibacterial immune responses, and macrophage functional reprogramming. • Cancer biology and chemoprevention; inflammation-associated carcinogenesis, apoptosis, cell-cycle control, migration, and natural product efficacy. • Experimental immunology and cell biology; flow cytometry, RT-qPCR, Western blotting, lentiviral perturbation, reporter assays, and cell-based functional assays.
