Jesika S. Faridi

Jesika Faridi is a Professor at University of the Pacific since 2004, specializing in physiology and cancer biology. Her research focuses on insulin signaling pathways and their role in hormone-independent and drug-resistant breast cancer progression.

• Education: BS in Genetics (UC Davis, 1995), PhD in Physiology (Loma Linda University, 2000), Postdoc in Molecular Pharmacology (Stanford, 2000-2004)

Her research interests include:

• Insulin and IGF signaling in cancer
• Signal transduction mechanisms
• Hormone independence development
• Drug resistance pathways in breast cancer

Recent publication trends show consistent focus on:

• RRM2 inhibition strategies
• NF-κB pathway modulation
• Tamoxifen resistance reversal
• AKT/mTOR interactions
• Estrogen receptor dynamics
