Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Nathan A. Koonce's research focuses on the application of nanoparticles and combined therapeutic modalities for cancer treatment. His work investigates the potential of gold nanoparticles conjugated with tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) as a multimodal cancer therapy, demonstrating synergistic antitumor responses in murine models when combined with radiation therapy. Koonce has also studied the effects of nanoparticles, specifically titanium dioxide, on DNA methylation in human cell lines. His research also explores indirect tumor cell death mechanisms following high-dose hypofractionated irradiation, with implications for stereotactic body radiation therapy and stereotactic radiation surgery. Additionally, he has investigated the protective effects of antioxidants, such as N-acetyl-cysteine, against acute radiation-induced death in mice. Koonce's publications include work on tumor-endothelial cell spheroids to enhance radiation and drug therapeutics, and the alteration of vascular architecture and tumor oxygenation by microbeam radiation therapy.
