Fischbach Lab

We apply engineering principles to understand how tissue microenvironments influence cancer initiation, development, and therapy response.

I am a Biochemistry, Molecular and Cell Biology (BMCB) Ph.D. student. Before coming to Cornell, I received my M.D. from National Taiwan University where I was first introduced to mechanobiology through a pharmacology seminar course. Fascinated by how cells sense and respond to their physical environment, I transitioned from a clinical path to research.

My current project focuses on identifying the mechanisms of how mineralized collagen induces osteogenesis and further influences cancer progression. Outside of lab, I enjoy dancing and traveling.
