His research focuses on molecular mechanisms in cancer and endocrinology, particularly in breast and colon cancers, tumor microenvironment, immune evasion, and mammary gland biology. Key areas include HER2 signaling, metastasis, cell death pathways, and developmental reprogramming in cancer.

Recent publications highlight work on trogocytosis-mediated immune evasion, ErbB2 signaling complex stabilization, DKK2-driven metastasis, and calcium-mediated lysosomal cell death in mammary involution. These studies reflect a strong trend in molecular oncology intersecting with cellular and developmental biology.
