Dr. Mukhtar is also the Associate Editor of the International Journal of Oncology, Clinical Cancer Research, and Cancer Therapy. Dr. Mukhtar is an expert in natural products and among the first pioneers in biochemically identifying and elucidating the mechanisms and therapeutic anti-cancer uses of Green Tea Polyphenols and other therapeutics, including CPC-300.
He has pioneered these and other important new multi-targeted natural product derived small molecules as highly active pharmaceutical drugs for the therapy and prevention of prostate adenocarcinomas, pancreatic adenocarcinomas, colon, skin and breast carcinomas.
Dr. Mukhtar's and his research team's research focus is cancer prevention and therapy and to establish the utility of naturally occurring dietary chemical substances in therapy of prostate, skin amd other solid cancers. For these studies, Dr. Mukhtar has used cellular and molecular approaches in cell culture systems and intervention studies in transgenic mouse models. Dr. Muhktar and his team has established a mechanistic basis for developing novel approaches for prevention and therapy of therapy-resistant solid cancers.
