I am an immunologist with over 15 years of experience in translational biomedical research, specializing in T cell biology, autoimmune diseases, and gastrointestinal cancers. My work explores how immune cells maintain balance, drive inflammation, and regulate epithelial transformation, with a growing focus on immune–microbiome interactions and strategies to therapeutically modulate them. I also earned an Executive MBA to support this translational vision. Beyond research, I am committed to advancing women’s participation in science, promoting gender-responsive medicine in inflammatory bowel disease and colon cancer, and fostering connections between patient associations and key stakeholders.
