Cell-cell interactions define high-order organizations in multicellular organisms, influencing their phenotypes. In this regard, I am interested in helping to understand how CCIs and phenotype are connected, in both a cellular and molecular level.
Cellular metabolism orchestrates the supply of resources and energy needed for the diversity of cellular functions. I aim to quantify metabolic activities within individual cells by using metabolic modeling and machine learning to understand physiological functions and dysregulation during aging and diseases.
