Research and Clinical Interests
I am a surgical pathologist specialized in neoplastic disease in genitourinary (GU) tract including prostate, urinary bladder, kidney, testis. My research is focusing on advancing diagnoses and management in GU cancer and understanding the mechanisms of these diseases, by integrating my pathology practice with approaches in functional genomics, spatial transcriptomics, and artificial intelligence application in digital pathology.
