Pursuing basic and translational research in the field of hepatobiliary malignancies. The overall goal of my research is to identify biologically relevant prognostic biomarkers and molecular targets for drug therapy and consequently improve the clinical outcome of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Post Doctoral Fellows

Aida Solhoej Hansen, PhD

Email: ashansen@stanford.edu

I am interested is in how extracellular vesicles are utilized to shape the function of immune cells. I am studying how cancer-cell intrinsic events may affect the secretion and function of extracellular vesicles as a mechanism to modulate the immune cells in the tumor microenvironment.
