Research Interests
Cellular mechanisms involved in establishment and maintenance of cell polarity using
gastric epithelial cells as a model system.
How Helicobacter pylori cytotoxins such as VacA perturb genomic stability of gastric
parietal cells using a novel 3D culture system.
Mitotic chromosome segregation and genomic stability:
Protein-protein interactions at the kinetochore is orchestrated during cell division
and what happens when specific protein-protein interaction is perturbed in real-time
live cells using optical reporters.
