Researching an innovative combinatorial approach to treatment of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) via AXL inhibition and Photodynamic Therapy (PDT). Collaborating with PhD and MD-PhD students on research involving nanotechnology, neuroimmunology, and Photodynamic Therapy approaches to cancer treatment.

Under the mentorship of Dr. Huang Chiao Huang, I am the lead liaison of MetaBio, a brain cancer research team composed of 7 interdisciplinary undergraduate students, sponsored by the Gemstone Honors Program at the University of Maryland. The purpose of our research is to develop an effective and innovative treatment approach to eliminate GBM tumors and prevent their recurrence. We are studying the potential of an innovative combinatorial approach to cancer treatment, involving photodynamic therapy (PDT) and a new class of small-molecule inhibitors. This novel approach remains underexplored in GBM, and we are hopeful that our research will provide insight on the promising future of combination treatment approaches to brain cancer. Our research is not just about GBM. It is about sparking a greater conversation about the need for a comprehensive approach to cancer treatment as well as the prospective benefits of recently explored, innovative therapeutic methods.
