Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Shiv Srivastava's research focuses on understanding the genetic and molecular underpinnings of prostate cancer, with a particular emphasis on identifying susceptibility variants and developing targeted therapies. Recent work has investigated novel susceptibility variants for prostate cancer and developed a multiancestry polygenic risk score associated with aggressive disease in men of African ancestry. Srivastava has also examined the prognostic features of biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer following radical prostatectomy, utilizing multiparametric MRI and immunohistochemistry analysis of biopsy specimens. Further research has explored the germline mutation landscape of DNA damage repair genes in African Americans with prostate cancer, identifying potentially targetable RAD genes. The researcher has also developed new selective inhibitors of ERG-positive prostate cancer.

Additional areas of investigation include the clinical utility of serum biomarker panels for distinguishing prostate cancer from benign prostatic hyperplasia. Srivastava's work also extends to fundamental biological processes, such as the inhibition of BAK-mediated apoptosis by the BH3-only protein BNIP5 and the structural basis of BAK sequestration by MCL-1 in apoptosis.

Srivastava holds a distinguished record with an h-index of 64, over 490 publications, and more than 15,000 citations, recognizing their significant contributions to the field. Key collaborators include Steve Lee and Elisabeth Ferreira from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, and Bin Dong and Meek Yang from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
