Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Lora J. Rogers' research interests include the intersection of environmental factors, genetics, and disease, with a particular focus on cancer and metabolic health. Her work has investigated the association between low-level environmental heavy metals and obesity in postmenopausal women. Rogers has also explored the role of genetic variations, such as SNPs in folate metabolism-related genes, in prostate cancer aggressiveness and the association of DNA methyltransferase polymorphisms with breast cancer risk in rural Arkansas populations. Her research extends to the cellular and molecular mechanisms of cancer, including the impact of specific gene inhibitions, like EZH2, on CAR-T cell persistence and the role of DNA-PKcs in T cell function. She has also examined T cell exhaustion and metabolic plasticity in glioblastoma. Rogers has a publication record of 60 papers and a citation count of 224, with an h-index of 9. She has collaborated extensively with colleagues at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Brian Koss, Daniel Fil, Shelbie Stahr, and Gail Runnells.
