Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Santanu Samanta's research focuses on cancer treatment and molecular mechanisms, with a particular interest in radiation oncology. His work investigates the role of specific molecular markers, such as IMP3 and caveolin-1, in cancer progression and treatment resistance, including their implications for triple-negative breast cancer and lung cancer. Samanta has also explored combined therapeutic approaches, such as immunotherapy, radiotherapy, and hyperthermia for pancreatic cancer. His publications include studies on treatment delays in tuberculosis and bleeding risks associated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors. He has a notable publication record, with an h-index of 14 and over 60 publications. Samanta collaborates extensively with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Gary D. Lewis, R.J. Megahed, and Mumtaz Patel.
