Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

Her primary areas of study are Cell biology, Transcription factor, NFAT, Molecular biology and NFATC Transcription Factors. Her studies in Cell biology integrate themes in fields like Cytotoxic T cell and IL-2 receptor. Her Transcription factor study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Cyclosporin a, Dephosphorylation and Immune system.

Anjana Rao combines subjects such as T cell, Cancer research, Signal transduction and Transcription with her study of NFAT. Her Molecular biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Gene expression, Cellular differentiation, DNA methylation, Gene and Regulation of gene expression. Anjana Rao has included themes like NFAT5, Transcriptional regulation, DNA-binding protein, Protein kinase C and NFAT Pathway in her NFATC Transcription Factors study.

Her most cited work include:

  • Conversion of 5-Methylcytosine to 5-Hydroxymethylcytosine in Mammalian DNA by MLL Partner TET1 (4235 citations)
  • TRANSCRIPTION FACTORS OF THE NFAT FAMILY:Regulation and Function (2363 citations)
  • IKK-1 and IKK-2: Cytokine-Activated IκB Kinases Essential for NF-κB Activation (1896 citations)

What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?

Her primary scientific interests are in Cell biology, Transcription factor, Molecular biology, NFAT and T cell. Her work carried out in the field of Cell biology brings together such families of science as Regulation of gene expression, Cellular differentiation and T-cell receptor. In her work, Histone is strongly intertwined with Chromatin, which is a subfield of Transcription factor.

As part of the same scientific family, Anjana Rao usually focuses on Molecular biology, concentrating on DNA methylation and intersecting with DNA and Methylation. Her NFAT study incorporates themes from Cancer research and Immunology. The various areas that Anjana Rao examines in her T cell study include Interleukin 2 and Cytotoxic T cell.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Cell biology (50.83%)
  • Transcription factor (34.99%)
  • Molecular biology (30.50%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Cell biology (50.83%)
  • Transcription factor (34.99%)
  • Epigenetics (15.37%)

In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:

Anjana Rao spends much of her time researching Cell biology, Transcription factor, Epigenetics, Effector and Cancer research. Her Cell biology research includes elements of Cell, Methylation, Cellular differentiation, 5-Hydroxymethylcytosine and FOXP3. Her research in Transcription factor intersects with topics in Chromatin, Transcription and T-cell receptor.

Her Epigenetics study combines topics in areas such as DNA demethylation and DNA methylation. Her research integrates issues of T cell and Autoimmunity in her study of Effector. Her Cancer research research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Haematopoiesis and Leukemia.

Between 2018 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Defining ‘T cell exhaustion’ (270 citations)
  • Defining ‘T cell exhaustion’ (270 citations)
  • NR4A transcription factors limit CAR T cell function in solid tumours. (229 citations)

In her most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

Anjana Rao mainly investigates Epigenetics, Cell biology, Effector, T cell and Gene. The study incorporates disciplines such as Genome instability and DNA methylation in addition to Epigenetics. Her Cell biology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Chromatin, 5-Hydroxymethylcytosine, Adoptive cell transfer and BATF.

T cell is closely attributed to Transcription factor in her study. Her NFAT and Enhancer investigations are all subjects of Transcription factor research. Her Gene research incorporates themes from Myeloid, Cancer research and Enzyme.
