Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Benjamin Swanson's research focuses on cancer biology, particularly pancreatic and colorectal cancers, with an emphasis on genetic risk assessment and cellular mechanisms underlying disease progression and treatment resistance. He has investigated the role of MUC4 in gemcitabine resistance and malignant behavior in pancreatic cancer cells and employed machine learning to identify distinct tumor and stromal cell populations in pancreatic tumors through highly-multiplexed immunofluorescence.

His work also extends to understanding the immune microenvironment in cancer. Swanson has studied single-cell RNA-sequencing data from human spleens to identify a tolerogenic dendritic cell subset present in pancreatic cancer patients but absent in healthy individuals. His publications include contributions to NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines for genetic/familial high-risk assessment for colorectal, endometrial, and gastric cancers, and a prospective statewide study on universal screening for hereditary colorectal cancer. Swanson's scholarship metrics include an h-index of 31, 116 total publications, and over 6,200 citations, designating him as a highly cited researcher. He collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville and the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.
