Robert Eoff

Robert Eoff, Professor at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) College of Medicine, is a member of the Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer Institute. His research focuses on DNA replication stress and damage tolerance mechanisms, with implications for genome stability, cancer treatment resistance, and bacterial antibiotic resistance evolution.

Educational background:

• Ph.D. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences
• B.S. in Pharmaceutical Sciences from Henderson State University

Research interests include:

• Molecular mechanisms of DNA damage bypass proteins
• Replication stress in cancer stem cells
• Targeting aberrant replication stress responses in gliomas

Active collaborations with Peter Crooks (Pharmaceutical Sciences) and Analiz Rodriguez (Neurosurgery) aim to develop small-molecule therapies enhancing DNA-damaging treatments.
