Brief Description of Research Interest :

My research focuses on how tumor cells remodel the bone marrow microenvironment to promote bone metastasis and systemic complications such as anemia. I am particularly interested in tumor-macrophage–erythroblast interactions, iron metabolism, and tumor plasticity, with the long-term goal of developing therapeutic strategies that preserve bone marrow function and improve cancer treatment outcomes.
