• Design and implement experiments for investigating the mechanism of tumor suppression in Patient-Derived organoids and PDXs,

• Perform validation studies in the mouse models,

• Investigate the mechanism by which cancer-associated fibroblasts can be reprogrammed,

• Work closely with the PI and his Graduate students in all experimental designs,

• Participate and present at NCI-sponsored meetings and work closely with the PI in manuscript preparation and

• Develop a K99 proposal (pathway to independence) supporting your career.
