Research focus
My current research contains technological advancements in the cellular research of regulated cell death (RCD). RCD is essential in cancer research, modulating the equilibrium between survival and cell death has potential applications in several pathologies (including cancer). Having a method describing and accurately quantifying the parameters during RCD, will lead to an acceleration within (cancer) cell biology. The combination of several advanced microscopy techniques and RCD biology is an interesting research axis.
