Santosh K Katiyar

Professor

biography

As a Director of Research Forum at the Department of Dermatology, I organize Research Forum meetings on monthly basis on each first Tuesday of the month. This forum provides an opportunity to each faculty member, postdoctoral fellow and graduate students in the Department of Dermatology and the postdoctoral fellows and graduate students UAB campus-wise to attend, present and discuss their scientific achievements and discussion on the future prospects.

 

Area of Interest

Dr. Santosh Katiyar has more than 20 years of research experience in cutaneous research, which includes the studies on the causes, mechanisms and chemopreventive strategies of skin cancers. This includes chemical carcinogenesis and photocarcinogenesis (melanoma and non-melanoma). His work involves the development of new and more effective chemopreventive agents, particularly dietary botanicals/phytochemicals that can prevent or delay non-melanoma skin cancer and ultraviolet radiation (UVR)-induced photoaging. In addition to skin cancer chemoprevention, Dr. Katiyar also has interest in working with chemoprevention of other cancers, such as lung, head & neck, prostate and breast, and published papers in these areas frequently. Molecular targets involved in these studies include, oxidative stress, inflammation and inflammatory mediators, cell cycle regulation, DNA damage and DNA repair, immunology/photoimmunology, epigenetic modulations and tumor cell migration and invasion. Dr. Katiyar has published approximately 200 original articles in highly peer-reviewed journals
