Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Óscar Zúñiga's research interests span diverse areas, including molecular biology, cancer research, and ecology. He has investigated novel markers for radioresistance in pancreatic cancer, exploring the role of DNA binding 1 as a potential indicator and studying the enhancement of radiosensitivity through inhibition of Cyclin-dependent kinase 1. His ecological research has focused on the spatial distribution and community dynamics of decapods on the rocky shores of Antofagasta, Chile, utilizing null models to explain species diversity. Zúñiga has also contributed to research on the respiratory rate of the shrimp *Cryphiops caementarius* and has explored the tracking of domestication signals in North American raccoons using citizen science data. He has collaborated with researchers from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences and the University of Central Arkansas.
