Personal Statement

I am currently an associate professor of surgery and biomedical sciences at Cedars-Sinai. My major research interests are to: develop leading-edge proteomics methods for the proteome-wide analysis of protein abundance, modification and interaction; identify novel, clinically actionable targets for inhibiting cancer metastasis and overcoming tumor resistance to standard therapies; understand the mechanisms of action of the newly discovered drug targets and their inhibitors; develop better and safer cancer therapies and discover novel biomarkers for selecting appropriate patient subpopulations and for monitoring drug response. In the near future, the research will provide personalized therapies to prevent or delay the emergence of metastasis in cancer survivors, and thus enable patients to live much longer and better lives."
