Composed of sphingosine and a fatty acid, ceramides are lipid molecules that serve as key metabolic signaling molecules of a sphingolipid pathway. While it acts as a precursor of complex sphingolipids, inducing ceramide generation can cause cell stress leading to subsequent cell death via apoptosis, necrosis, and even mitophagy. With regards to cell death specifically, a novel form of regulated cell death, ferroptosis, has recently been recognized of necrotic nature. Its unique morphological features and distinct properties have been observed over the last several decades; however, the molecular features were not identifiable as pure evidence of cell death, until recently …

Lung cancer is the most common cancer type worldwide, with one of the highest mortality rates across all cancer types. Cancer immunotherapeutics such as immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have improved cancer treatment by promoting the body’s natural immune response to tumor development while avoiding toxic effects associated with traditional cytotoxic chemotherapy. However, immunotherapies have been associated with unique toxic effects similar to autoimmune disorders known as immune-related adverse events (irAEs). 4.2% of immunotherapy-treated cancer patients reportedly developed neurological irAEs. In this review, different immunotherapies were studied, including ICIs and mechanism-specific novel therapies, in order to determine a combination therapy to …

Discovering IMSD was accidental. I was having a routine advising appointment and discussing future careers when the topic surfaced. At the time, I had no clue about what I wanted to do, so my advisor suggested that I explore research and encouraged me to apply for the program.
