My research interest is to identify the mechanisms that maintain protein homeostasis and provide resistance to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress to promote ovarian cancer growth under chemotherapy stress. I am also testing novel inhibitors that perturb protein homeostasis and stress-response survival signaling to target chemoresistant ovarian cancer. My research objective is to develop effective post-adjuvant therapies to target residual tumors and disease relapse.
