Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Shivakumar Sonnaila's research focuses on fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) and their roles in biological processes, including homeostasis and mitogenesis. His work has explored the overexpression and purification of mitogenic FGFs, as well as the design of FGF variants with enhanced stability and cell proliferation activity. Sonnaila has also investigated the structural forces that stabilize FGF dimers. His research interests extend to the application of CRISPR-Cas systems, with publications addressing their use in cancer treatment and in developing solutions for COVID-19 diagnosis and therapeutics. He has also published on the etiology and treatment of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Sonnaila has collaborated with Shilpi Agrawal, Phuc Phan, Zeina Alraawi, and Gaetane Ternier at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville on multiple publications.
