Research summary

Mahesh R. Nepal's research focuses on how drugs move into and out of liver cells, particularly through transporter proteins called OATPs (organic anion transporting polypeptides), and how this affects drug safety and interactions. Much of the recent work examines whether cancer drugs like tyrosine kinase inhibitors and BTK inhibitors interact with these transporters or cause side effects such as nerve damage, which is relevant to designing safer cancer treatments. This research sits at the intersection of pharmacology and cancer therapeutics, using laboratory assays to predict how drugs behave in patients.

Publication output was relatively steady at a modest pace through the mid-2010s to early 2020s, then increased sharply in 2024 and 2025.
