My research interest lies in studying the role of stress proteins, known as"chaperones," in physiology and disease. The main projects in my laboratory focus on investigating roles of chaperones in organism survival, tumor growth and progression and stress-induced myocardial remodeling. We study the mechanisms of action of chaperone proteins and how to leverage their expression to diagnose pathologies, inhibit cancer growth and metastasis formation and protect the heart from stress.
