Research
My research, supervised by Dr. Qiang Zhang and Dr. Melvin Andersen, is focused on developing computational models of signal transduction and gene regulatory networks underlying terminal differentiation of B cells and inflammatory response in the liver, and investigating how TCDD and other dioxin-like toxicants perturb these cellular pathways.
We are using "systems biology" tools based on nonlinear dynamics, control theory, and deterministic and stochastic modeling to develop a mechanistic understanding of dose-response relationships in terms of cellular signaling networks.
