Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Sharmin Khan's research primarily investigates mechanisms of bone destruction in the context of cancer metastasis and multiple myeloma. Her work has explored the role of senescent osteocytes in triggering bone destruction in breast cancer metastasis, utilizing single-cell transcriptomic analysis. Khan also studies signaling pathways that contribute to multiple myeloma, including the NOTCH3-CXCL12 axis that promotes chemoresistance and the CCL3-HMGB1 axis that regulates osteocyte RANKL expression. Her publications also address therapeutic strategies, such as targeting Notch inhibitors to the bone marrow niche to decrease tumor growth and bone destruction, and the potential of sclerostin inhibition for healing lytic lesions in multiple myeloma. Khan is a prolific author with an h-index of 12 and 95 total publications. She has a significant network of collaborators at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Hayley M. Sabol (45 shared publications), Aric Anloague (39 shared publications), Olivia Reyes‐Castro (35 shared publications), and Japneet Kaur (30 shared publications).
