His work explores mechanisms of treatment resistance, clonal evolution, and novel therapeutic strategies. Recent studies highlight TP53 mutations, RALB signaling, and Ras pathway inhibition in AML progression, alongside translational applications in allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation and NK cell-based therapies.

Key trends in his publications include precision oncology, functional genomics, and pre-clinical modeling of leukemia. Collaborations integrate zebrafish models with human hematopoietic stem cell research.
