Research Interests
Research Narrative
My research focuses on utilizing unbiased genomic CRISPR screens to identify novel regulators for glioma growth and investigating the metabolic regulations at the neuron-glioma synapses using viral-tracing technology. I aim to understand how glioma takes advantage of the brain microenvironment and hijacks the metabolic pathways originally wired to produce neurotransmitters at the synapse.
