Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Zeina Alraawi's research investigates the roles and therapeutic applications of fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) and their receptors (FGFRs). Her work focuses on understanding the intricate signaling pathways mediated by FGF/FGFR interactions and their relevance to various biological functions and diseases. Alraawi has published on the significance of endocrine FGFs, their effects on homeostasis, and their connection to conditions such as neoplasms, neurodegenerative diseases, and amyloidosis. She also explores molecular mechanisms related to protein structure and function, including the stability of heat-shock proteins and the engineering of hyper-stable FGF1 variants. Her research extends to the study of polyphenol-protein interactions and their impact on the rheological and pasting properties of plant-based materials like rice and sorghum. Alraawi has a publication record including work on COVID-19 and has collaborated with multiple researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
