Bio


My research focuses on immune-stromal crosstalk in pancreatic diseases, with an emphasis on how myofibroblasts and macrophages drive inflammation, fibrosis, and multi-organ dysfunction. By integrating patient-derived organoids, zebrafish models, and multi-omics, I aim to unravel the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying pancreatic injury and repair. I am developing cutting-edge zebrafish models of exocrine pancreas disorders to uncover novel immuno-fibrotic pathways and accelerate the identification of translational targets for early diagnosis and therapeutic intervention.
