- Secondary Affiliations: Associate Research Scientist, Neurosurgery, Yale University; Assistant Professor, School of Biomedical Informatics, University of Texas
Her research focuses on neurosurgery and computational biology, particularly the genomic and transcriptomic analysis of brain tumors. She employs advanced techniques such as single-cell RNA sequencing, multiomic profiling, and molecular diagnostics to study meningioma and glioma progression, radiation resistance, and immune interactions. Her work bridges clinical neurosurgery with computational methods to identify novel therapeutic targets and prognostic markers.
The 15 most recent publications highlight her contributions to understanding: AAV vector transduction mechanisms in brain tissue, NF2-hypoxia synergy in meningioma radioresistance, CD83's immunomodulatory role in glioma, and the impact of genetic variants on tumor-immune dynamics. These studies span neurogenetics, tumor microenvironment analysis, and translational applications of genomic data.
