My main research focuses on examining the immune landscape and identifying specific immune determinants that can predict the progression from actinic keratosis, a pre-malignant lesion, to cutaneous SCC. I am analysing single cell RNA-seq data and utilizing machine learning algorithms to evaluate potential diagnostic and prognostic markers that could aid in the identification of high-risk SCC patients. The identification of these markers is critical for early detection and intervention, which can significantly improve patient outcomes.
I am providing bioinformatics support for several projects focusing on squamous cell carcinoma. This generally involves developing bioinformatics pipelines for large-scale cancer datasets and utilising computational approaches for analysis, with the overall aim being to uncover novel diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers.
