Research interests
Our research program investigates the complex interactions between the tumor microenvironment (TME) and the microbiome, with a particular focus on understanding how the intratumoral microbiota influences cancer progression, immune modulation, and therapy response. Using innovative spatial profiling, single-cell sequencing, and microbial genomics approaches, we aim to uncover the functional roles of microbes within tumors and their impact on cancer heterogeneity and immune evasion. Key areas of interest include the dynamics of bacterial "microniches" in human tumors, the molecular pathways shaped by microbial interactions with tumor and immune cells, and the translational potential of targeting the microbiome for cancer therapies.
