My project aims to demonstrate the causal relationship between emergency myelopoiesis, polymorphonuclear granulocytes (PMNs) production, and tumor progression. I am developing a human model of gastro-esophageal adenocarcinoma (GEA) using organ-on-a-chip technology, incorporating the primary tumor site, regional lymph nodes, and bone marrow from the same patient. This model will help simulate tumor-immune interactions and metastasis development.

My project investigates how exercise, nutrition and coping mechanisms before surgery鈥攌nown as multimodal prehabilitation鈥攃an boost immune function and reduce inflammation in people with lung cancer. By analyzing blood samples during the pre-operative period, I aim to understand and characterize how these interventions might enhance the body鈥檚 natural ability to fight tumors and improve recovery after surgery.
