Biography

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Radiation Oncology at Baylor College of Medicine. My area of expertise includes radiation & cancer biology, cancer metabolism, and the development of genetically engineered mouse models (GEMMs) for cancer research. Recently, I developed GEMMs of human papillomavirus (HPV) positive and negative head and neck cancers using the Cre-LoxP and Sleeping Beauty Transposon system to study how HPV status affects the response to cancer therapy. I aim to develop an independent research program to (1) determine how cancer metabolism plays a role in radiation resistance and metastasis, (2) identify potential metabolic targets for pharmacological screening, (3) Investigate metabolites as prognostic markers for radioresistance or recurrence, and (4) study how different types of HPV viruses impact patient survival using GEMMs of head and neck cancers.
