What are your long-term career objectives? 

“My primary career goal is to make an impactful and solid contribution in colorectal cancer biology focused on its acquired resistance to treatment as an independent investigator. My current research goals center around the treatment of colorectal cells resistant to 5-Flurouracil (5-FU) + leucovorin (LV) treatment using CF-10, a novel polymeric fluoropyrimidine, developed in our laboratory. Our treatment
aims to overcome barriers leading to treatment failures and negative patient outcomes. “

Abstract #2000: Role of O-GlcNAc Conjugation and TS Translational Repression in 5-FU/LV Resistance in CRC and CF10 response.
