Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Cancer
  • Gene
  • Internal medicine

Frances R. Balkwill mainly investigates Cancer research, Immunology, Inflammation, Cancer and Cytokine. Her research in Cancer research intersects with topics in Pathology, Ovarian cancer, Signal transduction, Macrophage and Transplantation. She works mostly in the field of Immunology, limiting it down to concerns involving Metastasis and, occasionally, Transgene and Phenotype.

Her studies deal with areas such as Tumor progression, Angiogenesis and Bioinformatics as well as Inflammation. Her Cancer research includes themes of Acquired immune system and Pharmacology. The various areas that Frances R. Balkwill examines in her Cytokine study include Tumor necrosis factor alpha, Endocrinology, Immune system, Gene and Proinflammatory cytokine.

Her most cited work include:

  • Cancer-related inflammation. (7077 citations)
  • Inflammation and cancer: back to Virchow? (5372 citations)
  • Cancer and the chemokine network (1869 citations)

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

Frances R. Balkwill mostly deals with Cancer research, Immunology, Cytokine, Ovarian cancer and Cancer. Frances R. Balkwill has researched Cancer research in several fields, including Cell culture, Endocrinology, In vivo and Pathology. Her research on Immunology often connects related areas such as Metastasis.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Tumor necrosis factor alpha, Autocrine signalling, Chemokine, Proinflammatory cytokine and Immunotherapy in addition to Cytokine. In her work, Interleukin 6 is strongly intertwined with Angiogenesis, which is a subfield of Ovarian cancer. Her Cancer study incorporates themes from Extracellular matrix, Disease and Oncology.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Cancer research (44.97%)
  • Immunology (30.17%)
  • Cytokine (27.09%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Cancer research (44.97%)
  • Tumor microenvironment (9.50%)
  • Ovarian cancer (23.74%)

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

Frances R. Balkwill spends much of her time researching Cancer research, Tumor microenvironment, Ovarian cancer, Cancer and Immune system. Her Cancer research research integrates issues from Cytokine, Chemotherapy, Transcriptome, Disease and Extracellular matrix. Her Tumor microenvironment research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Tumor progression, Antibody and Cytokine Network.

In her research on the topic of Ovarian cancer, Ovarian carcinoma and Solubilization is strongly related with Serous fluid. Her Cancer study often links to related topics such as Proteomics. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Cell, Stroma and B cell.

Between 2016 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • A guiding map for inflammation (231 citations)
  • Deconstruction of a Metastatic Tumor Microenvironment Reveals a Common Matrix Response in Human Cancers. (139 citations)
  • Deconstruction of a Metastatic Tumor Microenvironment Reveals a Common Matrix Response in Human Cancers. (139 citations)

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

  • Cancer
  • Gene
  • Internal medicine

Her primary areas of investigation include Cancer research, Tumor microenvironment, Immune system, Pancreatic cancer and Disease. Her research integrates issues of Transcriptome, Ovarian cancer, Serous fluid and Cytokine in her study of Cancer research. Her Cytokine research incorporates themes from Neutrophil elastase and Macrophage, CD163, Macrophage chemotaxis.

Her study on Tumor microenvironment is covered under Immunology. Her study focuses on the intersection of Immune system and fields such as B cell with connections in the field of Tumor progression, CD20 and Cytotoxic T cell. Her Disease study also includes

  • Malignancy that connect with fields like Cancer,
  • Proteomics which is related to area like Omental metastasis, Solubilization, Cell biology and Fibrosis.
