Overview I am a biomedical scientist with training and experience in cancer biology, biochemistry, cell biology, mouse modeling, and translational research. My current research interests lie in the following fields: (1) To dissect the downstream signaling pathways of oncogenic GNAQ and GNA11 to identify therapeutic targets for human uveal melanoma; (2) To develop uveal melanoma mouse models to validate the role of candidate melanoma genes in tumor formation and progression and to evaluate potential therapies in a preclinical setting; (3) To investigate the role of liver microenvironment in uveal melanoma liver metastasis.
