Brief Description of Research Interest:
 

My overall research interest is to: 


1. Interrogate the cross-talk between immune microenvironment and multiple myeloma (and its precursor stages), its impact on disease progression, response to traditional and novel immunotherapy. And

2. Develop small molecules that disrupt the crosstalk between multiple myeloma cells and tumor microenvironment.
