Biography

My research focuses on developing a novel method to detect cellular senescence after cancer therapy. Senescence, a natural cellular response to damage including chemo- and radiotherapy, has been shown to promote tumour growth and cancer recurrence. Therefore, the ability to detect senescence in cancer after treatments can be helpful to improve the prognosis of cancer treatments. In particular, I am interested in exploring nanomaterials to build a stimuli-responsive detection method capable of reporting senescence burden.
