Rajgopal Govindarajan

This researcher studies molecular mechanisms underlying pancreatic cancer, with a particular focus on how signaling proteins that regulate G-protein pathways (a class of molecules involved in relaying signals inside cells) contribute to tumor growth and progression. Recent work centers on how the loss of a specific regulatory protein, RGS11, promotes cancer-promoting features in pancreatic tumors. The lab's outputs also touch on related topics such as epigenetics (chemical modifications controlling gene activity), RNA changes in cancer, and kinase signaling (enzyme-driven cell communication pathways).

Publication output has grown substantially in recent years, with sharp increases in 2022-2023 and again in 2026 compared to a slower, low-output period from 2017 to 2021.
