Overview

Simone Fulda is affiliated with Goethe University Frankfurt in Germany and has contributed extensively to research in the fields of Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology, as well as Medicine. Their work spans numerous subfields including Molecular Biology, Immunology, Epidemiology, Cancer Research, and Cell Biology.

The research conducted by Fulda addresses core topics such as cell death mechanisms and regulation, autophagy in disease and therapy, ubiquitin and proteasome pathways, interferon and immune responses, endoplasmic reticulum stress and disease, redox biology and oxidative stress, and protein degradation and inhibitors.

Fulda's recent publications include:

  • The Pediatric Precision Oncology INFORM Registry: Clinical Outcome and Benefit for Patients with Very High-Evidence Targets, 2021, Cancer Discovery
  • ATF4 links ER stress with reticulophagy in glioblastoma cells, 2020, Autophagy
  • Autophagy activation, lipotoxicity and lysosomal membrane permeabilization synergize to promote pimozide- and loperamide-induced glioma cell death, 2021, Autophagy
  • Single-molecule imaging reveals the oligomeric state of functional TNFα-induced plasma membrane TNFR1 clusters in cells, 2020, Science Signaling
  • USP22 controls necroptosis by regulating receptor-interacting protein kinase 3 ubiquitination, 2020, EMBO Reports

Frequent co-authors collaborating with Fulda include:

  • Sjoerd J. L. van Wijk
  • Klaus-Michael Debatin
  • Svenja Zielke
  • Donat Kögel
  • Nina Meyer

Publication venues where Fulda has contributed multiple papers encompass:

  • Oncogene
  • Cancer Letters
  • Cell Death and Disease
  • Autophagy
  • bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)

Through their research, Fulda engages in analyzing molecular pathways implicated in cell death and survival, with particular attention to mechanisms such as autophagy and necroptosis. Their contributions to understanding the links between endoplasmic reticulum stress and disease contexts complement their focus on protein degradation systems and immune response modulation.
