Research summary:
I am developing a physiologically relevant microfluidic model of human ovarian epithelial cancer omental invasion. Using this model, I hope to investigate the mechanisms of ovarian cancer metastasis to the omentum, and specifically elucidate the roles of microvasculature, mesothelium, and adipocytes in ovarian cancer attachment, invasion, and proliferation.
