Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Isabelle R. Miousse is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. Her research focuses on the intersection of metabolism, particularly methionine, and its role in cellular responses to radiation and cancer. She investigates how dietary interventions, such as methionine restriction, can influence treatment outcomes for conditions like colorectal cancer and acute radiation syndrome.

Miousse's work also explores the potential of radioprotective agents, such as Gamma-Tocotrienol, in mitigating the effects of radiation exposure. Her studies have involved various model systems, including nonhuman primates and inbred mice, to understand the complex biological mechanisms involved. She has received federal funding from the NIH for her research on methionine metabolism in the acute response to radiation in the gut.

With a h-index of 29 and over 2,900 citations across 88 publications, Miousse is recognized as a highly cited researcher. She actively collaborates with colleagues at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Sarita Garg, Lauren C. Morehead, Alan J. Tackett, and Katherine Wallis, contributing to a robust network of research endeavors.
