Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

April C.L. Bostian investigates the molecular mechanisms underlying cancer, with a recent focus on glioma cells. Her work examines the role of tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase (TDO) and its impact on DNA damage tolerance and repair pathways within these cells. Bostian's research has shown that inhibiting TDO can impair these critical cellular processes in glioma, suggesting potential therapeutic avenues. Her scholarship metrics include an h-index of 4, with a total of 8 publications and 77 citations. She has collaborated with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Amit Ketkar, Robert L. Eoff, Maroof K. Zafar, and Alan J. Tackett, on shared publications.
