  My research focuses on: 1. Inter-organ immune communication in the upper digestive system through shared lymphatic drainage and how the power of this immune crosstalk can be harnessed to decelerate disease progression, such as Type I Diabetes. 2. Changes in the duodenal microbiome throughout the progression of pancreatic cancer and whether there is a causal relationship between duodenal microbiome shift and altered exocrine pancreatic function and whether it can act as an early sentinel for pancreatic cancer development.
