Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • DNA

His main research concerns Liposome, Biochemistry, Vesicle, Biophysics and Cationic polymerization. His Liposome research incorporates themes from Ethylene glycol, Drug delivery, Chromatography, Phosphatidylethanolamine and In vivo. He combines subjects such as Phospholipid, Phosphatidylcholine, Lipid bilayer and Aqueous solution with his study of Vesicle.

His Biophysics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Oligonucleotide and Biodistribution. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Crystallography, Polylysine, Complement system and Polymer. Francis C. Szoka works mostly in the field of DNA, limiting it down to concerns involving Dendrimer and, occasionally, Polynucleotide.

His most cited work include:

  • Procedure for preparation of liposomes with large internal aqueous space and high capture by reverse-phase evaporation (2070 citations)
  • Designing dendrimers for biological applications (1581 citations)
  • Method of encapsulating biologically active materials in lipid vesicles (1407 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Liposome, Biochemistry, Biophysics, Vesicle and Pharmacology. His research integrates issues of Drug, Bilayer, Drug delivery, Chromatography and In vivo in his study of Liposome. His work in the fields of Drug delivery, such as Drug carrier, intersects with other areas such as Conjugate.

Francis C. Szoka focuses mostly in the field of Biochemistry, narrowing it down to matters related to Cationic polymerization and, in some cases, Cationic liposome. His research investigates the connection between Vesicle and topics such as Phospholipid that intersect with problems in Biological membrane. The concepts of his Pharmacology study are interwoven with issues in Amphotericin B and Toxicity.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Liposome (49.16%)
  • Biochemistry (32.44%)
  • Biophysics (18.39%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2020)?

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

Francis C. Szoka mainly investigates Liposome, Biochemistry, Drug delivery, Biophysics and In vivo. He has included themes like Phosphocholine, Phosphatidylcholine, Chromatography and Pharmacology, Drug in his Liposome study. The concepts of his Drug study are interwoven with issues in Nanotechnology and Aqueous solution.

Francis C. Szoka has included themes like Tumor microenvironment, Autoimmune disease, Carboxylate, Stereochemistry and Amine gas treating in his Drug delivery study. Francis C. Szoka combines subjects such as Glycation, In vitro, Small molecule and Matrix with his study of Biophysics. His work carried out in the field of In vivo brings together such families of science as Extracellular matrix, Central nervous system, Cationic liposome and Rho-associated protein kinase.

Between 2011 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Cancer nanomedicines: so many papers and so few drugs! (367 citations)
  • Nucleic acid delivery: the missing pieces of the puzzle? (228 citations)
  • The neonatal Fc receptor, FcRn, as a target for drug delivery and therapy. (96 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • DNA

Liposome, Drug delivery, Pharmacology, Drug and Immunology are his primary areas of study. His research in Liposome intersects with topics in Chromatography, Targeted drug delivery, Polymer chemistry and Cytotoxicity. His Targeted drug delivery study combines topics in areas such as Biophysics, Cationic liposome, Immunogenicity, Membrane and In vivo.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Pharmacokinetics, Immunoglobulin G, Autoimmune disease, Protein subunit and Regulator. His Pharmacology study incorporates themes from Tumor microenvironment, Hyaluronic acid and Doxorubicin. His Drug study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Clinical trial, Nanotechnology and Aqueous solution.
