Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Heba Allam's research investigates molecular mechanisms underlying cellular responses to DNA damage and therapeutic interventions. Her work has focused on the role of specific proteins, such as SIRT2 and GSK3B, in DNA repair pathways and their influence on cancer treatment outcomes, particularly in the context of radiation mucositis and PARP1 inhibition. Allam has published on these topics, contributing to a better understanding of how these pathways affect tumor response and cellular resilience. Her scholarship metrics include an h-index of 7, with 26 total publications and 313 total citations. Allam collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Mousumi Patra, Ratan Sadhukhan, Forouh Kalantari, and Brian Koss, with whom she shares multiple publications.
