Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Shivakumar Sonnaila's research centers on understanding fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) and their diverse biological roles, with a particular focus on their potential therapeutic applications. His work investigates the structural forces that stabilize FGF dimers, such as the FGF1-FGF2 dimer, and explores the design of FGF1 variants with enhanced stability and cell proliferation activity. Sonnaila also examines the broader saga of endocrine FGFs, contributing to the understanding of their mitogenic and metabolic functions through overexpression and purification studies.

Beyond FGFs, Sonnaila's recent publications indicate an interest in advanced biotechnological tools and their applications in health. He has explored CRISPR-based solutions for COVID-19 diagnosis and therapeutics, as well as the application of CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing technology in cancer research. His work also touches upon neurodevelopmental disorders, specifically investigating the etiology and treatment challenges of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). He collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Shilpi Agrawal and Phuc Phan.
