Laboratory Research
This lab is investigating the intrinsic properties of transitional epithelial cells and their interactions with the neighboring cells. The team hypothesizes that cells within this region are intrinsically more prone to transformation or alternatively, that the environment is permissive for transformed cells.

Transitional zone
Merging microenvironments Stem cells & Cancer.
Epithelia constitute the surfaces and lining of our bodies and provide a protective envelope against external environment but also regulate water, nutrient absorption and glandular secretions. Although epithelia can be multilayered (stratified) or single-layered (simple) they both need to constantly replace damaged or dead cells during the life. Adult stem cells are responsible for this process of tissue homeostasis critical for the maintenance of the tissue. At certain location of the body, transition zone lies between two types of epithelium. These transition zones are found in the eye, oesophagus, stomach, ovary, cervix and anus.
