Dinesh K. Ahirwar's research examines how inflammation and immune cells within tumors contribute to cancer growth and spread, with particular focus on breast, lung, prostate, and gastrointestinal cancers. Work centers on specific molecules such as S100A7 protein and RAGE receptor signaling, myeloid-derived suppressor cells, and epigenetic changes (chemical modifications that alter gene activity) that influence tumor behavior and could serve as biomarkers or drug targets. The lab also explores potential cancer therapies, including protein kinase inhibitors, cannabidiol, and diclofenac-based approaches.
