    Academic Interests
    My NIH-funded basic cancer research program focuses on understanding the underlying gene regulatory mechanisms that drive cancer development and progression. Specifically, we aim to characterize the transcriptional regulatory networks involved in the transition from normal to tumorigenesis. Our research is focused on breast cancer, and we investigate the role that bromodomain proteins play in ER-mediated responses and endocrine therapy resistance. By studying these key factors, we hope to gain a deeper understanding of the molecular mechanisms that drive breast cancer progression and develop new therapeutic strategies for treating this disease. Our research program employs cutting-edge techniques and technologies to uncover new insights into cancer biology, and our findings have the potential to make a significant impact on the development of personalized cancer treatments in the future.
