I am a molecular cell biologist by training and apply this background in translational research. My research focuses on the disturbances of metabolism in the context of cancer cachexia. My group aims to identify tumor-derived mediators responsible for tissue loss and dysfunction in cachexia. We also evaluate the role of the gut microbiota and immune cells in cachexia and apply pancreatic organoid models to study the link between chemotherapy resistance and cachexia.
