Research interests
My research aims to reveal cellular and molecular mechanisms how lifestyle choices regulate cancer risk. A healthy diet and high physical activity significantly decrease cancer risk. However, we don't have enough knowledge of the molecular and cellular mechanisms behind this protection. The goal of my study is to identify those mechanisms that protect against cancer. This information can utilizes to boost our body defense agains malignant progression in our tissues.
