My expertise specializing in cancer biology, mitochondrial biology, and proteostasis, with experience across leading research institutes in the US, Poland, and India. My work focuses on uncovering molecular mechanisms that drive carcinogen-induced lung tumorigenesis, mitochondrial protein import dysfunction and the ubiquitin–proteasome system involvement. I bring strong expertise in cell and molecular biology, including in vivo lung tumor models, CRISPR-Cas knockdown, confocal imaging, protein analysis, mutational screening, and single-cell genomics. I also have a solid background in computational drug discovery and the identification of anticancer small molecules. With 25+ scientific publications and multiple international conference presentations, I am passionate about advancing mechanistic understanding of cancer and translating it into therapeutic insights. I am open to new collaborations in cancer research, mitochondrial research, and molecular biology.
