FATal Signaling by Oxidized Phospholipids: Implications for Drug Discovery in Acute Brain Injury

Date

April 8, 2021 - 8:30am

Event Description

Presenter: Dr. Hülya Bayir

Dr. Bayır is an expert in the area of acute brain injury with a special emphasis in novel diagnostic and therapeutic approaches targeting oxidant derived cellular damage. She has pioneered new methodologies related to the application of oxidative lipidomics to both in vitro and in vivo experimental models and in human brain injury. Her work has provided fundamental insights into the link between oxidative stress, mitochondrial injury and neuronal cell death. In this talk, Dr Bayir will tell us about oxidized phospholipid signals in apoptosis and ferroptosis, label free imaging of phospholipids and their oxidized forms in cells and tissues using imaging mass spectrometry and clinical lipidomics.
