Research summary

Nicholas Denko studies how tumors adapt to low-oxygen (hypoxic) and nutrient-poor conditions, and how these adaptations affect cancer growth and response to treatments like radiation therapy and hypoxia-targeted drugs. His work spans molecular biology techniques such as genome-wide screens, as well as imaging methods like PET scans to measure tumor oxygen levels, with applications to cancers including pancreatic and lung cancer.

Publication output was relatively low and steady from 2017-2022, then sharply increased starting in 2023, likely reflecting a surge in supplementary data records and dataset publications alongside primary research articles.
