Santoesha Ghisai

Santoesha Ghisai is a Researcher in the Department of Neurology at Erasmus University Medical Center, specializing in neuro-oncology with a focus on brain tumors including glioblastoma and astrocytoma.

Dr. Ghisai's research interests encompass several key areas in neuro-oncology:

• Molecular mechanisms of brain tumor development and progression
• Gene expression profiling in glioblastoma and astrocytoma
• Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) signaling pathways in brain cancer
• Tumor microenvironment and immune interactions in CNS malignancies
• Epigenetic modifications in IDH-mutant astrocytomas

Analysis of Dr. Ghisai's recent publications reveals a strong focus on molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying brain tumor biology, particularly examining how genetic and epigenetic alterations contribute to tumor progression and treatment resistance. The research spans transcriptomic, epigenetic, and microenvironmental analyses across different brain tumor subtypes, with significant implications for understanding therapeutic resistance mechanisms.

Dr. Ghisai has established significant collaborative networks across international institutions, as evidenced by the multi-center nature of the research projects. The work has gained notable attention in the scientific community, with publications accumulating substantial citations (up to 124 citations for the Cancer Cell paper) and social media engagement (including 111 X users sharing one publication). Several papers have been referenced in Wikipedia pages and have attracted readership on academic platforms like Mendeley.
