OverviewAI-generated summary
Samir V. Jenkins' research focuses on the application of nanomaterials in therapeutic and diagnostic contexts, particularly in cancer treatment. His work investigates the photothermal properties of gold nanostructures and their conversion into self-assembled ionic nanomaterials for enhanced therapeutic effects. Jenkins has explored the use of nanocage-coated artificial extracellular matrices to promote neural stem cell differentiation and the nanoscale control of photothermal action in gold nanostructure-coated surfaces.
His research also extends to drug delivery systems, including liposome formulations for tumor-targeted delivery in conjunction with radiation therapy. Jenkins has examined the molecular mechanisms underlying cancer progression and dormancy, including the role of specific proteins in inducing reversible dormancy in lung tumor cells and the exosomal profiles of hepatocellular carcinoma cells. He has also investigated bystander effects in spatially fractionated radiation therapy and the proinflammatory activity of VEGF-targeted treatments.
Jenkins leads a research group and collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Ruud P.M. Dings, Robert Griffin, and Azemat Jamshidi‐Parsian, as well as Narasimhan Rajaram at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. His scholarly output is characterized by a high h-index of 21 and over 1,400 citations across 75 publications, designating him as a highly cited researcher.
