Research summary
AI-generated

Misty Dawn Shields studies lung cancer, with a strong focus on small cell lung cancer (SCLC), a fast-growing and aggressive type of lung tumor. The research examines how immunotherapy (treatments that use the immune system to fight cancer) and newer drugs work in patients, and looks for biomarkers that predict which patients will respond. Much of the work combines real-world patient outcomes, clinical trials, and laboratory studies of tumor biology.

Collaborators per year
Distinct co-authors at Indiana University each year — a rough indication of whether the group around this researcher has been growing or contracting. An estimate from co-authorship, not a roster: collaborators are not necessarily lab members, and recent years can be under-counted while indexing catches up.
