As a physician scientist, I am devoted to improving patient care in endocrinology and advancing biomedical sciences. With my advanced training in molecular and cell biology, I strive to translate cutting-edge biotechnology innovation into potential applications in patient care. Current research projects include tissue engineering for generating insulin-producing cells for treatment of diabetes, and identification of novel agents and drug targets for tackling cell senescence. I am also involved in clinical trials sponsored by pharmaceutical industries.
