Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Alan B. Diekman, Professor in Biochemistry & Molecular Biology at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, focuses his research on the genetic and metabolic factors influencing cancer aggressiveness. His recent publications investigate the interactions of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within folate metabolism-related genes and their impact on prostate cancer aggressiveness in both European American and African American populations. Diekman's work contributes to understanding the genetic underpinnings of health disparities in cancer outcomes. He has published 39 papers with 1,652 citations and an h-index of 22, and is recognized as a highly cited researcher. His collaborations include work with Lora J. Rogers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, with whom he shares two publications.
