John DiGiovanni is affiliated with The University of Texas at Austin in the United States. Their research primarily focuses on medicine and biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology, with significant contributions in molecular biology, oncology, pulmonary and respiratory medicine, physiology, and cancer research.

The scientist's work centers around key topics such as prostate cancer treatment and research, cancer-related molecular pathways, fibroblast growth factor research, cancer, lipids, and metabolism, amino acid enzymes and metabolism, Hippo pathway signaling and YAP/TAZ, and epigenetics and DNA methylation.

Among their recent publications are:

  • Obesity and prostate cancer - microenvironmental roles of adipose tissue (2023) published in Nature Reviews Urology
  • Enzyme-mediated depletion of serum l-Met abrogates prostate cancer growth via multiple mechanisms without evidence of systemic toxicity (2020) published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
  • CXCR4 and CXCR7 signaling promotes tumor progression and obesity-associated epithelial-mesenchymal transition in prostate cancer cells (2022) published in Oncogene
  • Progression of prostate carcinoma is promoted by adipose stromal cell-secreted CXCL12 signaling in prostate epithelium (2021) published in npj Precision Oncology
  • Non-canonical role of Hippo tumor suppressor serine/threonine kinase 3 STK3 in prostate cancer (2021) published in Molecular Therapy

The scientist frequently publishes in venues including Molecular Carcinogenesis, Cancer Research, Journal of Investigative Dermatology, Molecular Therapy, and Nature Reviews Urology.

Frequent collaborators of John DiGiovanni include Achinto Saha, Stefano Tiziani, Cherie-Ann O. Nathan, Alok R. Khandelwal, and Chelsea A. Friedman.

John DiGiovanni was awarded the Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in 2015.
