Research Interests


Intestinal stem cell biology and colon cancer epithelial cell research, with a focus on gastrointestinal disorders. My work utilizes advanced 2D and 3D culture systems, including mouse and human intestinal and colon cancer organoids, to investigate disease mechanisms and therapeutic strategies. Additional research interests include intestinal stem cell regeneration following radiation injury.
