Ashok Narasimhan studies cancer cachexia, the muscle-wasting condition that affects many cancer patients, focusing on the molecular signals (such as small RNA molecules called microRNAs) and cell types that drive muscle loss. The research also extends to genome-wide studies searching for inherited genetic variants linked to cachexia and cancer susceptibility, as well as related work on muscular dystrophy and tumor immunology.
