I am a PhD student co-supervised by Dr. Xi Huang and Dr. C.C. Hui at SickKids Research Institute in Toronto, Canada. My lab is interested in dissecting the roles of ion channels and tissue mechanics in the development of adult and pediatric brain tumours. Specifically, I am investigating the function of a potassium channel protein in medulloblastoma, one of the most common malignant brain cancers in children.
I am happy to share interesting and exciting new preprints on topics including but not limited to mechanosensation, cell migration, and cancer neuroscience!
