I study how cells handle chemical stress, and what happens when they cannot.

Two research tracks connect environmental exposure to cellular recovery: how vaping affects male reproductive health, and how cells bring stress signals to an end.

Doctoral research

Vaping and male reproductive health

Smokers, vapers and dual users compared, so the aerosol itself is the variable.

E-cigarette aerosol Leydig cells & testosterone Mitochondrial dysfunction microRNA regulation Sexual health

Independent framework

Cellular signaling circuits

Five papers treating pathways as control systems that must also resolve, not switches.

Highlighted study

The unfolded protein response as a proteotoxic stress-resolution circuit

October 2026 Chemico-Biological Interactions DOI ↗

A framework in which environmental toxicants act as proteotoxic inputs, IRE1α, PERK and ATF6 decode ER stress into immune outcomes, and failed resolution can shift immune and barrier cells into persistent dysfunction.

IRE1α in the ER membrane, with XBP1 mRNA beneath its cytosolic domain
Toxicants → ER stress → UPR branches → resolution → immune outcome
Testable prediction Measure the system after the exposure, not only during it.

Report recovery kinetics, branch-specific signaling and functional immune output, so incomplete recovery rather than peak activation becomes the variable.
