OverviewAI-generated summary
Veronica Piedra's research focuses on understanding and overcoming mechanisms of anticancer drug resistance. Her work investigates the role of endoplasmic reticulum stress in contributing to treatment failure and explores novel therapeutic strategies. Specifically, Piedra's recent publications examine vacuolization as a potential approach to cancer therapy and the use of macropinocytosis for enhanced delivery of chemotherapeutics in cancer cells. She has also studied macropinocytosis inducers for selective intracellular delivery of small and macromolecular agents and investigated targeting endolysosomal trafficking to overcome paclitaxel resistance in triple-negative breast cancer.
Piedra collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Joyeeta T. Khan, Amit Kumar Tiwari, Rupak Pathak, and Sanjana Sood. Her scholarship metrics include an h-index of 1, with 5 total publications and 7 total citations.
