Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Dr. Amit Kumar Tiwari's research focuses on drug resistance mechanisms in cancer cells, particularly involving ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. His work has investigated how specific compounds, such as Lapatinib and Apatinib, can reverse multidrug resistance by inhibiting the function of these efflux pumps. His publications explore the role of ABC transporters in cancer chemotherapy and genetic diseases, as well as broader strategies for targeted drug discovery in oncology.

Beyond his primary research interests, Dr. Tiwari's academic background includes extensive training in chemistry, medicinal chemistry, cheminformatics, and patent law. He holds postgraduate diplomas in these fields and is a certified intellectual property professional. His expertise also extends to competitive intelligence, acquisition, and innovation management. He has published on topics ranging from amide bond bioisosteres and alternatives to biological skin in permeation studies to the review of BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitors.

Dr. Tiwari has an h-index of 12 and has published 129 works with 828 citations. He is recognized as a highly cited researcher and leads a research group at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, collaborating with several colleagues within the institution.

Research Interests

Dr. Tiwari is an Associate Dean of Research & Graduate Studies and a Professor of Pharmaceutical Sciences in the College of Pharmacy at University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, Arkansas. He is a seasoned pharmacologist, a board-certified toxicologist and also leads a funded ?Cancer and Systems Therapeutics (CAST) program. He has been widely cited and has published, over 240 peer reviewed publications, patents and book chapters. CAST team is involved in a) developing effective, safe, and targeted anticancer molecules against multidrug-resistant cancers; b) designing, synthesizing and characterizing non-conventional forms of cell death inducers. CAST team has discovered first-in-class, safe agents that activate necroptosis, methuosis, methuophagy, ferroptosis, entosis, and immunogenic cell death, sensitizing resistant cancers to immuno- and radiotherapies. Integrating biomimetic microfluidics, high-content imaging, and AI-driven analytics, his group develops predictive tools to understand and overcome chemotherapy failure. In parallel, they are advancing patented macropinocytosis-based delivery platforms that enhance intracellular transport of siRNAs and proteins. Supported by multiple federal and foundation grants, issued patents, and international collaborations, Dr. Tiwari’s translational program bridges preclinical innovation with therapeutic impact.; Drug Discovery; Drug Resistance; Non Apoptotic Cell Death; Formulations, Drug; Drug Delivery Systems; Intellectual Properties
