UCSF Women Physician-Scientists
Physician-scientist with (translational) mission to advance human liver pathobiology research and diagnostics for precision-based medicine and regenerative therapies.
My clinical interests are primarily liver pathology, with particular interest in liver iron, metabolic liver disease, and etiologies of steatohepatitis and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).
As a stem cell biologist with expertise in RNA biology, my basic science research interests are in leveraging genome engineering, quantitative cell biology, RNA sequencing, imaging, and cytometry at single-cell resolution for innovation and discovery in development and reprogramming.
