His research investigates MAP kinase activation mechanisms under stress, novel stress signaling pathways, and the role of cellular stress responses in cancer. Using siRNA screens, proteomics, and biochemical techniques, he explores RNA-binding proteins and post-transcriptional regulation in stress and inflammation. Current projects target ZAKα kinase and NLRP1 inflammasome dynamics, with potential therapeutic applications in cancer and inflammatory disorders.
Collaborations span international institutions, with recent external partnerships in multiple countries. He serves as a consultant for KinxeaTherapeutics, developing kinase inhibitors for clinical trials.
