The current  research is centered on understanding and characterization of cell response to pulsed electric fields treatments, with particular emphasis on nanosecond-duration pulses and cell death mechanisms.
 
Main topics of the research include:
 
1) escalation of cell sensitivity to pulsed electric field (PEF) for advancement of PEF-mediated tissue and tumor ablation.  ref1   ref2  ref3
 
2) mechanisms of the PEF-triggered cell death, characterization of the cell death pathways  ref1
 
3) PEF-induced communication between the cells
