Safoura Nour Ebad
PostDoctoral Researcher
Safoura graduated as Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) from the Wroclaw University of Environmental and Life Sciences, Veterinary Medicine Faculty in March 2020, and in March 2025, she earned her PhD in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from the same institution. Her PhD research was focused on the study of cellular signaling pathways, a subject she is particularly passionate about. Specifically, Safoura’s thesis explored the galactosylceramide-dependent signaling pathway and its role in multidrug resistance in breast cancer cells. To gain a comprehensive understanding of this pathway, she employed a wide range of molecular biology techniques and organic chemistry. Her work involved extensive use of cell culture to maintain and manipulate human and mouse cell models ( Reza et al. Glycobiology 2021; Młynarczyk et al., J Cell Biochem; Suchański, Reza et al., Cancers 2024) Safoura joined LMAI group in March 2025.
Research interests
Safoura investigates how lipid composition and resulting changes in signaling pathway are altered under metabolic and redox stress, with a specific focus on process of ferroptotic cell death. The main aim of her research is to investigate potential lipid mediators produced as part of the ferroptosis-associated secretory phenotype (FASP), with the goal of characterizing a FASP-specific lipid signature at the molecular level. This would contribute to a better understanding of the propagation mechanisms during ferroptosis execution and how this secretory phenotype influences neighboring cells and immune responses.
