Single particle tracking allows us to look at the transport properties of proteins in the cell. This lets us shed light on how proteins behave in live cells. I use particle tracking to better understand ribosomes and the proteins they interact with. Outside the lab, I enjoy rock climbing and crocheting.

Aneuploidy is defined as a whole chromosome imbalance, and it is observed in about 90% of tumors. It is believed that whole genome doubling is a precursor to aneuploidy. With the use of single cell biosensors and single molecule localization microscopy, I aim to further investigate the genesis of aneuploidy in healthy cells and then[...]

Some cells in our body receive constant growth signals, such as in the intestine or the skin. However, they also face stresses such as DNA and RNA damage from UV light or inflammatory signals from neighboring cells. I am interested in studying how these pro- and anti-growth signals are integrated by cells, and how competing[...]
