Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Cancer
  • Gene
  • Internal medicine

His primary areas of study are Cancer research, Pathology, IDH1, Astrocytoma and IDH2. His study in Oligodendroglioma and Glioma are all subfields of Cancer research. He combines subjects such as Exome sequencing, V600E and Solitary fibrous tumor with his study of Pathology.

Felix Sahm works mostly in the field of IDH1, limiting it down to topics relating to ATRX and, in certain cases, Brain tumor, Pilocytic astrocytoma, Neuropathology and DNA sequencing. As a member of one scientific family, Felix Sahm mostly works in the field of Astrocytoma, focusing on Immunohistochemistry and, on occasion, Monoclonal. His research in IDH2 intersects with topics in Medulloblastoma and 1p/19q Codeletion.

His most cited work include:

  • An endogenous tumour-promoting ligand of the human aryl hydrocarbon receptor (1047 citations)
  • DNA methylation-based classification of central nervous system tumours (733 citations)
  • DNA methylation-based classification of central nervous system tumours (733 citations)

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

Felix Sahm mainly investigates Cancer research, Pathology, DNA methylation, Glioma and Internal medicine. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Cancer research, Oligodendroglioma is strongly linked to IDH1. In his research on the topic of Pathology, ATRX is strongly related with Astrocytoma.

His research investigates the connection between DNA methylation and topics such as Epigenetics that intersect with issues in Medulloblastoma. Glioma and Isocitrate dehydrogenase are two areas of study in which he engages in interdisciplinary work. In his study, Temozolomide, Radiation therapy, Clinical trial and Glioblastoma is inextricably linked to Oncology, which falls within the broad field of Internal medicine.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Cancer research (61.65%)
  • Pathology (44.70%)
  • DNA methylation (37.08%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2020-2021)?

  • DNA methylation (37.08%)
  • Cancer research (61.65%)
  • Pathology (44.70%)

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

His main research concerns DNA methylation, Cancer research, Pathology, Meningioma and Methylation. His DNA methylation research incorporates elements of Oncology, Internal medicine, Uterus, Mutation and CDKN2A. His is doing research in Glioma and Astrocytoma, both of which are found in Cancer research.

The Pathology study combines topics in areas such as Choroid plexus papilloma, Fusion transcript and Oligodendroglioma. His Meningioma study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Immunohistochemistry, Clinicopathological features, Who classification, Brain tumor and Hazard ratio. His studies deal with areas such as Somatic cell, Fusion gene, Subclass, Pilocytic astrocytoma and Sarcoma as well as Methylation.

Between 2020 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Sarcoma classification by DNA methylation profiling (12 citations)
  • Sarcoma classification by DNA methylation profiling (12 citations)
  • A vaccine targeting mutant IDH1 in newly diagnosed glioma. (6 citations)

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

  • Cancer
  • Gene
  • Internal medicine

Glioma, Cancer research, Cell biology, DNA methylation and Astrocytoma are his primary areas of study. His Glioma research includes themes of Niche, Missense mutation, H3 K27M Mutation, Epidermal growth factor receptor and IDH1. His Cancer research research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of DNA damage, Mutation, ATRX, MSH2 and EGFR Gene Amplification.

The various areas that Felix Sahm examines in his Cell biology study include Cell culture, Downregulation and upregulation, Multicellular organism, Receptor and Cytotoxic T cell. His DNA methylation research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Methylation and Sarcoma, Pathology. His Astrocytoma research integrates issues from MLH1, MSH6, Germline mutation and DNA mismatch repair.
