I completed my Bachelor of Science in Biology at Virgen Milagrosa University Foundation in the Philippines and am now working towards a Ph.D. in Dr. Trygve Tollefsbol's lab. My research is centered on epigenetic strategies to prevent breast cancer metastasis. I specifically examine how Quercetin and SAHA together affect metabolic and epigenetic pathways, focusing on the Warburg effect and GLUT1 regulation. By employing methods such as flow cytometry, immunocytochemistry, and invasion assays, I investigate how these substances influence the metastatic behavior of breast cancer cell lines. Outside the lab, I enjoy dancing, content creation, exercising, and spending quality time with friends. I also have a passion for using humor and storytelling to make science more accessible and engaging.
