Research Themes
Cancer Persister Cell
Persister cells are a small sub-population of cancer cells that maintain viability under anti-cancer treatments. These cells harbor non-genetic, reversible drug-resistance phenotypes. We are interested in understanding the underlying biological mechanisms.
Adaptive metabolism
Aberrant metabolism of cancer cells presents potential therapeutic opportunities. A growing interest focuses on how to target cancer metabolism. We are interested in metabolic rewiring in melanoma and lung cancers, paving the way to find new metabolic targets
Single cell analysis
Translating findings from single cell studies to clinical implementations of personalized medicine, paving the way to understand the heterogeneity of tumor intrinsic features, its microenvironment and tumor cell “quorum sensing” in the niche.

Team building.
Team building is the process of creating a team that cohesively works together towards a common goal. The importance and main purpose of team building is to create a strong team through forming bonds and connections. Creating these bonds through team building is very beneficial to organizations.
The benefits of team building include increased communication, planning skills, employee motivation, and employee collaboration.
Socializing and making friends in the workplace is one of the best ways to increase productivity in the virtual, hybrid, or in-person workplace. Not only does it increase morale in the office: it will help our team adapt to a virtual work environment more efficiently, solving issues that come up with the “new normal.” Holding a team building activity can be short and sweet, or it can be a more complex event that everyone has more time to plan for!
