My research in Dr. Wolfram Goessling's Lab focuses on how hormone signalling impacts liver development and metabolic function. Using the zebrafish model, I investigate how estrogen signalling alters hepatobiliary architecture, stress response pathways, and lipid homeostasis. My work bridges developmental biology, environmental toxicology, and endocrine signaling to better understand how environmental exposures shape disease risk.

In addition to my research, I am committed to supporting interdisciplinary training and collaborative exchange in environmental health sciences. I serve as a Faculty member for the Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals: Hazards and Opportunities (ECHO) course at the Marine Biological Laboratory, where I assist in leading a transdisciplinary training program at the intersection of toxicology, policy, and public health. I also serve as Junior Co-Chair of the Toxicology Research Interest Group within the Zebrafish Disease Models Society and Co-Chair of the 2026 Gordon Research Seminar on Environmental Endocrine Disruptors, helping to elevate early-career voices and foster inclusive dialogue across disciplines.

These roles, alongside my research, reflect a broader commitment to cultivating a collaborative environmental health community, particularly around emerging challenges in endocrine disruption and developmental toxicology.
