Biography

My focus is on improving cancer immunotherapy through microbiome-driven research, with a particular emphasis on a class of novel microbiome-derived metabolites. These compounds bolster anti-tumor immunity, enhancing the efficacy of immunotherapies like anti-PD-1 and anti-PD-L1, even in hosts on broad-spectrum antibiotics. My commitment lies in pushing scientific boundaries and advancing cancer treatment through innovative approaches.
