Research summary
AI-generated

Jharna Datta's research examines molecular mechanisms underlying cancer, particularly how gene silencing through DNA methylation, microRNA regulation, and signaling pathways contributes to liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma) and head and neck cancers. Work in this record includes studies of epigenetic gene silencing, tumor suppressor reactivation via DNA methyltransferase inhibition, and cell signaling pathways involved in tumor metastasis. Note that several key publications associated with this record have been formally retracted, which prospective students should be aware of when evaluating this body of work.

Publication output was low and irregular for most of the past decade, then spiked sharply in 2023 (58 items, largely supplementary materials and data files tied to retracted or re-examined papers) before dropping back to low levels in 2024-2025.
