OverviewAI-generated summary
Lauren C. Morehead's research focuses on the role of metabolism in cancer, particularly the impact of methionine restriction on immune checkpoint inhibitor efficacy. Studies have investigated differences in cell death pathways related to methionine and cysteine depletion, and the characterization of methionine dependence in melanoma cells. Morehead has also explored the chemical inhibition of DNA-PKcs and its effect on T cell activation and cytotoxicity. Additionally, research has examined the induction of major histocompatibility complex class I antigen presentation by resveratrol in melanoma, and a case report on theophylline's correction of sinus node dysfunction in lithium toxicity.
Morehead's work involves collaborations with several faculty members at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Alan J. Tackett, Isabelle R. Miousse, Brian Koss, and Katherine Wallis, with whom she has co-authored multiple publications. Her scholarship includes an h-index of 6, 21 total publications, and 118 total citations.
