Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Internal medicine
  • Immune system

His primary areas of investigation include Immunology, Transplantation, Graft-versus-host disease, Internal medicine and Immune system. His studies in Immunology integrate themes in fields like Cytotoxic T cell and Stem cell. His Cytotoxic T cell research is multidisciplinary, relying on both T cell and Molecular biology.

His Transplantation research integrates issues from Total body irradiation, Histocompatibility, Bone marrow, Transplantation Conditioning and Fludarabine. His Graft-versus-host disease research incorporates themes from Blockade, Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, Cytokine and Pharmacology. The concepts of his Internal medicine study are interwoven with issues in Gastroenterology, Umbilical cord and Surgery.

His most cited work include:

  • Microbial translocation is a cause of systemic immune activation in chronic HIV infection (2742 citations)
  • Successful adoptive transfer and in vivo expansion of human haploidentical NK cells in patients with cancer. (1213 citations)
  • Targeting Tim-3 and PD-1 pathways to reverse T cell exhaustion and restore anti-tumor immunity (1206 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Immunology, Transplantation, Graft-versus-host disease, T cell and Internal medicine. His Immunology research includes themes of Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and Stem cell. His biological study deals with issues like Leukemia, which deal with fields such as Myeloid leukemia.

Bruce R. Blazar has included themes like Germinal center and Major histocompatibility complex in his Graft-versus-host disease study. His T cell study combines topics in areas such as Cytotoxic T cell, Cancer research, Antigen and Cell biology. The various areas that he examines in his Internal medicine study include Gastroenterology, Endocrinology, Surgery and Oncology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Immunology (57.68%)
  • Transplantation (28.24%)
  • Graft-versus-host disease (25.74%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Graft-versus-host disease (25.74%)
  • Transplantation (28.24%)
  • Immunology (57.68%)

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

Graft-versus-host disease, Transplantation, Immunology, T cell and Cancer research are his primary areas of study. His Graft-versus-host disease research focuses on Gastroenterology and how it connects with Umbilical cord. Bruce R. Blazar has researched Transplantation in several fields, including Haematopoiesis, Stem cell, Clinical trial, Adoptive cell transfer and CD80.

He regularly links together related areas like Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in his Immunology studies. His T cell study incorporates themes from Cytotoxic T cell, CD8, Cytokine and Cell biology. His research in Cancer research intersects with topics in In vivo, Leukemia, Antigen and Immunotherapy.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Paradoxical effects of obesity on T cell function during tumor progression and PD-1 checkpoint blockade (186 citations)
  • Distinct Regulation of Th17 and Th1 Cell Differentiation by Glutaminase-Dependent Metabolism. (160 citations)
  • First-in-human phase 1 clinical study of the IL-15 superagonist complex ALT-803 to treat relapse after transplantation (141 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Internal medicine
  • Immune system

Bruce R. Blazar mainly investigates T cell, Cancer research, Cell biology, Immunology and Immune system. The study incorporates disciplines such as CD8, Priming, Innate immune system, Autoimmunity and Immunotherapy in addition to T cell. His Cancer research study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Cytotoxic T cell, Receptor, In vivo and Antigen.

His Cell biology research integrates issues from Regulatory T cell, Cell and FOXP3. His Immunology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Graft-versus-host disease, Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and Transplantation. Bruce R. Blazar has included themes like Tumor progression, Stem cell, Cytokine and Myeloid-derived Suppressor Cell in his Immune system study.
