OverviewAI-generated summary

Forouh Kalantari, Associate Professor in the Department of Radiation Oncology at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, investigates mechanisms underlying cancer progression and treatment. Her recent work focuses on the role of cystathionine gamma-lyase in regulating hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha expression, a pathway implicated in the progression of clear cell ovarian cancer. Kalantari also explores vulnerabilities in cancer cells, as demonstrated by research identifying KEAP1 perturbation as a weakness in ARID1A-deficient cells. Additionally, her research extends to the evaluation of radiation oncology residency training, examining resident and faculty concordance in target delineation and contouring as a method for performance assessment. She has also contributed to studies on the dosimetric analysis of treatment planning systems for spine SBRT and the evaluation of linear accelerators for radiation therapy. Kalantari has a h-index of 4 with 16 publications and 177 citations, and she frequently collaborates with researchers at her institution, including Faraz Kalantari, Gary D. Lewis, and Fen Xia.
