Research interests include connexin function in epithelial barriers, drug delivery using gold nanoparticles, and laser-based cell manipulation techniques. His work spans applications in cancer therapy, tissue engineering, and understanding cellular communication mechanisms. Recent studies explore the role of connexin hemichannels in respiratory epithelial barrier integrity under inflammatory conditions (e.g., LPS exposure) and the development of allosteric inhibitors for metastatic cancer suppression.
Publications highlight contributions to cell biology methodologies (e.g., fs-laser nanosurgery, GNOME laser perforation) and molecular mechanisms governing gap junction regulation. Collaborative projects involve interdisciplinary approaches combining biophysics, nanotechnology, and pharmacology.
