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
