The primary focus of my research is on HER2+ breast cancers and targeted therapies, specifically at the molecular and ultrastructural levels. Our laboratory specializes in using cell biology, biochemistry, and electron microscopy (EM) techniques. Presently, our research is concentrated on analyzing the interaction between autophagy and exosomal release in HER2+ breast cancer models. We work alongside national and international research groups for EM collaboration.
