Research Interest
I have several long-standing scientific interests that I am dedicating my scientific career to. I have a keen interest in p53 biology, especially in GOF mutant p53 signaling pathways, as well as in mechanisms of how wildtype p53 induces apoptotic and necrotic cell death via its mitochondrial interactions. I also made significant contributions to establishing the role of the p53 gene family member p73 in development and differentiation, genomic stability and cancer. A third theme of my work is stem cell biology, with an emphasis on physiological and pathological implications on cellular plasticity in differentiation and cancer.
