Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Sydnye L. Shuttleworth's research investigates therapeutic targets and molecular mechanisms in cancer and infectious diseases. Her work includes studying NEK2 as a therapeutic target in lymphoma and exploring T cell exhaustion in solid tumors, for which she received a $40,026 NIH/National Cancer Institute grant as PI. Shuttleworth also examines the role of specific compounds, such as 4-4-(Anilinomethyl)-3-[4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-1H-pyrazol-1-ylbenzoic acid derivatives, as antibacterial agents against gram-positive bacteria.

Her research also extends to understanding metabolic plasticity in T cells within the context of glioblastoma and proteomic analysis of T cell exhaustion, including the DNA damage response. Shuttleworth collaborates with multiple researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Vijay Patel, Ying-Zhi Xu, Mason McCrury, and Kennith Swafford, with whom she shares 46 publications.
