In one project, I’m doing structure-function studies of HER2 and HER3 in HER2-positive breast cancer to identify new structural features that are critical for signaling so that we can develop a new generation of drugs that are both highly effective and have fewer side effects than the current treatment regimen for these patients. In another project, I’m working on the development of novel SynNotch CART cell therapy to target HER2-positive breast tumors. Apart from these, I am also involved with several other projects that are currently going on in our lab
