Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Henrique Rodrigues investigates mechanisms to enhance the effectiveness of cancer radiotherapy. His work has explored the role of specific signaling pathways, such as the RAS-RAF-miR-296-3p axis, in contributing to radioresistance in pancreatic and thyroid cancers by increasing Rad18 expression. Rodrigues has also studied strategies to improve radiosensitivity in rectal and pancreatic cancers through interventions like targeting SETD2 or inhibiting cyclin-dependent kinase 1. Further research has examined the impact of dietary modifications, specifically methionine restriction, on radiosensitizing KRAS mutant rectal cancer and protecting the gut microbiome. He has published 24 papers, with a total of 254 citations, and has an h-index of 5. Rodrigues collaborates with several researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Oscar Zuniga and Lokesh Akana, with whom he has co-authored four publications.
