Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Shilpa Bhatia"
- Shilpa Bhatia's recent research predominantly focuses on the tumor microenvironment and its role in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), investigating the immunomodulatory functions of receptor tyrosine kinases like EphA4 and EphB4, and their impact on tumor progression and metastasis.
- Her studies also highlight the interactions between various immune cell types, such as regulatory T cells and macrophages, as well as therapeutic approaches that target these interactions to improve treatment responses in HNSCC, including the combination of radiotherapy and immunotherapy strategies.
- Additionally, Bhatia has explored the biochemical and mechanistic aspects of using non-toxic iron catalysts in organic synthesis, revealing a novel approach to synthesize chiral compounds that could have broader implications in medicinal chemistry and drug development.
