Research Summary
As an Assistant Professor in the Division of GI at UCSF, I am interested in the molecular underpinnings of intestinal inflammation and Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). We employ a variety of tools to study intestinal epithelial cells and death signaling pathways in mouse models, patient-derived biopsies, and organoids.
