OverviewAI-generated summary
Nathan S. Reyna's research program investigates the role of circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) as biomarkers for disease diagnosis and treatment response, particularly in the context of cancer and viral infections. His work has focused on identifying specific miRNA profiles associated with hepatocellular carcinoma related to Hepatitis B virus infection and predicting patient response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer. He also explores the application of gene expression analysis and bioinformatics tools, such as Cancer BioPortal, in both research and educational settings.
Reyna is also engaged in developing and implementing effective pedagogical strategies for undergraduate science education. He has published on the use of synthetic biology as a course-embedded research experience and strategies for transitioning cell culture laboratory courses to online formats. He is the Principal Investigator on an NSF RCN-UBE grant totaling $500,000, supporting the Cell Biology Education Consortium's Pathway to Publication initiative. His collaborations include work with researchers at Ouachita Baptist University and the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.
