Research summary
AI-generated

Niranjan Awasthi studies cancers of the digestive system, especially pancreatic, gastric, and bile-duct (cholangiocarcinoma) tumors. Much of the work tests whether adding targeted drugs\u2014such as inhibitors of specific tumor-signaling proteins or of blood-vessel growth (angiogenesis)\u2014can make standard chemotherapy more effective in laboratory and preclinical animal models. The goal is to identify drug combinations that shrink tumors and slow their spread.

Publication activity has been variable across the decade, with a very large spike in 2023 and steady output in most other years.

Collaborators per year
Distinct co-authors at Indiana University each year — a rough indication of whether the group around this researcher has been growing or contracting. An estimate from co-authorship, not a roster: collaborators are not necessarily lab members, and recent years can be under-counted while indexing catches up.
