OverviewAI-generated summary

Dr. Suman Kumar Samanta's research focuses on the molecular pharmacology of cancer and the exploration of therapeutic agents derived from indigenous medicinal plants. His work investigates tumor biology, aiming to identify novel strategies for cancer prevention and treatment. Dr. Samanta has a strong publication record, with work appearing in journals such as the Journal of the National Cancer Institute (JNCI), Cancer Letters, and the International Journal of Cancer. His research has also led to one international and two national patents.

His recent publications demonstrate a consistent focus on the biochemical and pharmacological effects of plant-derived compounds. These studies examine mechanisms such as glucose uptake stimulation, insulin resistance amelioration, oxidative stress reduction, and the modulation of signaling pathways involved in adipogenesis and cancer cell proliferation. He has also investigated the effects of dietary components and environmental factors on health, including studies on the impact of processed food components on fertility and the protective effects of whole grains against type 2 diabetes.

Dr. Samanta's scholarly output includes 47 publications with 940 citations, and an h-index of 18. He maintains collaborations with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Mausam Patel, Gary D. Lewis, and R.J. Megahed.
