Research Interests

My research focuses on exploring the role of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) within the tumor microenvironment of plexiform neurofibromas associated with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). Additionally, I am interested in investigating the contribution of TAMs in the progression of these benign tumors to malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs).
