Overview

Alan Eastman is affiliated with Dartmouth College in the United States and has contributed extensively to the fields of Biochemistry, Genetics, and Molecular Biology, with a focus on molecular biology and oncology. Their research spans key subfields including Molecular Biology, Oncology, Cell Biology, Genetics, and Pulmonary and Respiratory Medicine.

The primary topics of Eastman's work cover several areas related to cancer and cellular processes. These include:

  • Cancer-related Molecular Pathways
  • DNA Repair Mechanisms
  • Microtubule and mitosis dynamics
  • PARP inhibition in cancer therapy
  • Protein Tyrosine Phosphatases
  • Cell death mechanisms and regulation
  • RNA Interference and Gene Delivery

Eastman has authored a number of peer-reviewed papers published across multiple journals. Recent publications include:

  • "Activation of CDC25A phosphatase is limited by CDK2/cyclin A-mediated feedback inhibition," 2021, published in Cell Cycle
  • "Comparative Activity and Off-Target Effects in Cells of the CHK1 Inhibitors MK-8776, SRA737, and LY2606368," 2021, published in ACS Pharmacology & Translational Science
  • "Sensitivity of cells to ATR and CHK1 inhibitors requires hyperactivation of CDK2 rather than endogenous replication stress or ATM dysfunction," 2021, published in Scientific Reports
  • "AT101 [(-)-Gossypol] Selectively Inhibits MCL1 and Sensitizes Carcinoma to BH3 Mimetics by Inducing and Stabilizing NOXA," 2020, published in Cancers
  • "A phase I trial of BNC105P and ibrutinib in patients with relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia," 2022, published in eJHaem

Their frequent publication venues reflect a multidisciplinary reach and include:

  • ACS Pharmacology & Translational Science
  • Cell Cycle
  • Cancers
  • Scientific Reports
  • eJHaem

Eastman's collaboration network includes several frequent co-authors who have contributed alongside them in multiple studies. These co-authors are:

  • Jennifer P. Ditano
  • Nandini Sakurikar
  • David J. Mallick
  • Katelyn L. Donahue
  • Laura J. Tafe

Their published work focuses significantly on cellular pathways implicated in cancer and related molecular mechanisms, exploring dynamics of cell cycle regulation, responses to molecular inhibitors, and therapeutic sensitivities. The range of studies also encompasses trials with pharmaceutical agents targeting hematological malignancies.
