OverviewAI-generated summary

Joel Rodríguez Troncoso studies the application of optical spectroscopy techniques for the characterization and monitoring of cancer and its microenvironment. His work involves both animal models, including Sprague Dawley rats and mice, and human cell lines to investigate tumor responses to various treatments. Specifically, his research has utilized Raman spectroscopy and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy to identify phenotypic shifts in breast cancer metastasis, monitor tumor response to immune checkpoint inhibitors, and assess changes in the tumor microenvironment following radiation therapy. Troncoso has also explored the use of terahertz imaging for breast cancer detection in both animal and human models.

His research network includes collaborators such as Narasimhan Rajaram and Jesse D. Ivers from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, as well as Nathan L. Avaritt and Allen Gies from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. Troncoso has authored 21 publications, with a total of 120 citations and an h-index of 6. His most recent publication was in 2023.
