Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Heba Allam's research investigates molecular mechanisms underlying cancer progression and treatment response. Her work focuses on the role of Glycogen Synthase Kinase-3β (GSK3β) in DNA repair pathways and its impact on tumor sensitivity to PARP1 inhibition. She has published on GSK3β's regulation of 53BP1 function in response to genotoxic stress and its influence on cancer cell survival. Additionally, her research explores the function of Sirtuin 2 (SIRT2) in maintaining stem cell resilience, particularly in the context of radiation-induced damage in oral mucositis, by promoting DNA double-strand break repair. Allam's scholarly output includes 27 publications with 308 citations and an h-index of 7. She collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Mousumi Patra and Ratan Sadhukhan.
