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 signaling pathways. His work has investigated the structural and functional properties of FGF1, exploring how modifications, such as charge reversal in its heparin-binding pocket, can enhance stability and activity. Sonnaila has also examined the overexpression and purification of mitogenic and metabolic FGFs. His recent publications also extend into the application of CRISPR-Cas systems for diagnosing and potentially treating COVID-19, as well as gene-slicing in cancer research. Additionally, his work touches upon the etiology and treatment of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Sonnaila collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Shilpi Agrawal, Phuc Phan, Thallapuranam Krishnaswamy Suresh Kumar, and Zeina Alraawi.
