Jitesh Pratap is an Associate Professor in the Department of Anatomy & Cell Biology at Rush Medical College, Rush University. He earned his PhD from Panjab University in India and conducts research on bone metastasis in advanced cancers, focusing on cellular and molecular interactions between cancer and bone cells.
- Research Focus: Growth factor signaling (e.g., IGF-1R) and cancer cell metabolism in bone metastasis
- Grants: Metavivor Foundation and American Society of Bone and Mineral Research
- Laboratory: https://www.rushu.rush.edu/research/departmental-research/cell-molecular-medicine-research/laboratory-jitesh-pratap-phd
Pratap's work explores how transcription factors like Runx2 regulate metastatic cancer cell survival in the bone microenvironment. His studies integrate genetics, molecular biology, and bio-imaging to analyze paracrine signaling networks and metabolic stress responses.
His research has been cited in publications related to bone neoplasms, autophagy, and cell movement. Collaborators include researchers such as Carl Maki, Lei Duan, and Jeffrey Borgia in Rush University's Anatomy & Cell Biology Department.
