Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Santanu Samanta's research focuses on clinical outcomes and treatment strategies in oncology, particularly for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and other malignancies. He has investigated the role of specific biomarkers, such as caveolin-1, in predicting radiation resistance and tumor aggression in lung cancer. His work also examines treatment modalities, including brachytherapy, spatially fractionated radiation therapy, and reirradiation for head and neck cancers, with a focus on identifying prognostic indicators and functional outcomes. Samanta has also contributed to research on CAR T-cell therapy for lymphoma and conditioning regimens for allogeneic stem cell transplantation. His publications include studies on acute radiation dermatitis and the correlation with skin dose distribution. Samanta's scholarship metrics include an h-index of 14, with 61 total publications and 677 citations. He has collaborated extensively with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Gary D. Lewis, R.J. Megahed, and Mumtaz Patel.
