My Ph.D. training was in the lung epithelial biology, focusing on the regulation of the epithelial sodium channel by a small protein named SPLUNC1. SPLUNC1-derived peptide is currently undergoing clinical trials for the treatment of cystic fibrosis disease. At MPI, I've gained experience in skin epithelial biology, focusing on glutaminolysis in the regulation of hair follicle stem cell plasticity and population dynamics. Additionally, together with my collaborators, I have investigated the crosstalk between the hair follicle stem cells and the niche cells upon UV stress. Currently, at DGIST, I'm back to the lung research, focusing on alveolar stem cell fate determination. My overall interest lies in epithelial biology at the cellular and molecular level.
