Teaching Interests

I am dedicated to teaching molecular biology and drug discovery with an emphasis on translational innovation.

Research Interests

My research focuses on targeted protein degradation and chemical biology approaches to modulate disease-associated proteins in cancer and aging. We develop innovative small-molecule degraders—including PROTACs, molecular glues, and next-generation platforms—and dissect mechanisms regulating protein folding, arginylation, alternative splicing, and protein quality control.
