OverviewAI-generated summary
Dr. Suman Kumar Samanta's research focuses on the intersection of traditional medicinal plants and modern pharmacology, with a particular emphasis on cancer biology and metabolic disorders. His work investigates the therapeutic potential of phytochemicals derived from indigenous plants, aiming to identify novel compounds for drug discovery. Dr. Samanta has a strong publication record, with over 40 articles in peer-reviewed journals, including contributions to the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, and Cancer Letters. His research has also led to one international and two national patents.
His current work includes studies on specific plant compounds such as kaempferol 3-O-rutinoside, isoverbascoside, astragalin, and mahanine, examining their effects on cellular processes like glucose uptake, insulin resistance, adipogenesis, and estrogen receptor signaling. Dr. Samanta also explores the impact of phytochemicals on oxidative stress and mitochondrial function, and investigates the chemopreventive properties of dietary components. He has received funding for research related to cancer and metabolic diseases and collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Mumtaz Patel, Gary D. Lewis, and R.J. Megahed.
Dr. Samanta holds a master's degree in organic chemistry and a PhD in biochemistry. His postdoctoral work was completed at the University of Pittsburgh, and prior to his current affiliation, he held a position as Scientist C at the Institute of Advanced Study in Science and Technology (IASST) in India. His scholarly metrics include an h-index of 18 and over 950 citations across his approximately 47 publications.
