I am a cell biologist/geneticist focusing on understanding tumourigenesis. Cancer is a multigenic and complicated disease, involving interactions between the tumour and normal tissue. I use the genetically tractable model organism, the vinegar fly, Drosophila, to model cancer in situ and identify novel genes that drive cancer. My 5 year career plan is to use the Drosophila system to model cooperative tumourigenesis in epithelial and brain tissues and translate this to human cancer.

我是一名细胞生物学家/遗传学家，专注于了解肿瘤发生。癌症是一种多基因、复杂的疾病，涉及肿瘤和正常组织之间的相互作用。我使用遗传上易驯化的模式生物，醋蝇，果蝇，来建立原位癌症的模型，并识别驱动癌症的新基因。我的5年职业计划是使用果蝇系统来模拟上皮组织和脑组织的协作性肿瘤发生，并将其转化为人类癌症。
