Research summary
AI-generated

Eswar Shankar's research centers on prostate cancer, especially treatment resistance and metabolic changes in castration-resistant disease, as well as the cognitive side effects of hormone-lowering (androgen deprivation) therapy. The work also touches on broader cancer biology topics such as epigenetic regulation (EZH2), obesity-related cancer risk, and biomarker discovery in bladder and breast cancers. This research would suit students interested in cancer therapy resistance, cancer-related metabolism, or the links between cancer treatments and cognitive/metabolic health.
