Neel Rajan

Neel Rajan's research focuses on thyroid cancer biology, particularly how certain cell-signaling pathways (such as MAPK, AKT, and PAK) drive cancer cell growth and how these cancers respond to drugs that block specific proteins involved in cell division and gene activity (like CDK7/9 and PAK inhibitors). This work aims to identify potential drug targets for treating thyroid cancer. An earlier publication also examined how caffeine affects an enzyme involved in starch digestion, suggesting some breadth beyond the core cancer focus.

Publication output has been low but fairly steady over the last decade, with occasional small upticks (such as in 2020 and 2022) and gaps in other years, averaging about one to two papers per year recently.
