Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Veronica Piedra's research focuses on understanding mechanisms of anticancer drug resistance, with recent work investigating the role of endoplasmic reticulum stress and exploring novel approaches to modulate intracellular drug delivery. Her publications examine how endoplasmic reticulum stress influences resistance to antineoplastic agents and explore the selective modulation of small and macromolecule delivery in cancer cells through macropinocytosis inducers. She has co-authored publications with Joyeeta T. Khan, Amit Kumar Tiwari, Rupak Pathak, and Sanjana Sood, all from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, indicating collaborative efforts within the institution. Her scholarly profile includes an h-index of 1, with 5 total publications and 3 total citations.
