Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Baha’a Jabali’s research focuses on the discovery and development of novel kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. His work has led to the identification of selective aurora kinase B inhibitors, including the first orally active compound of this class, and dual RET/TRKA inhibitors. Jabali has also investigated quinazoline-based dual RET/Aurora B inhibitors specifically for non-small cell lung cancer.

His publications include studies on the synthesis and characterization of metal complexes with anti-inflammatory drugs, and a perspective on macrocycles for targeting the kinome. Jabali has a h-index of 4 across 6 publications, with over 100 citations. He has collaborated with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Brendan Frett, Baku Acharya, and Maha Hanafi, on multiple shared publications.
