Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Immune system
  • Gene
  • Cytokine

Frank Brombacher focuses on Immunology, Interleukin 4, Cytokine, Interleukin 13 and Immune system. His study of Inflammation is a part of Immunology. His Interleukin 4 study incorporates themes from T cell, Ovalbumin, Immunoglobulin G, Spleen and Nippostrongylus brasiliensis.

Frank Brombacher combines subjects such as Proinflammatory cytokine, Nitric oxide synthase and Allergic inflammation with his study of Cytokine. His Interleukin 13 research includes themes of Cryptococcus neoformans, Adjuvant, Transgene and Goblet cell. His Immune system study incorporates themes from Immunoglobulin E, Sensory system, Chronic itch and Nervous system.

His most cited work include:

  • Macrophage-specific PPARγ controls alternative activation and improves insulin resistance (1521 citations)
  • Requirement for IL-13 Independently of IL-4 in Experimental Asthma (1519 citations)
  • A promoter-level mammalian expression atlas (1307 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Immunology, Immune system, Interleukin 4, Cytokine and Inflammation. His research in Immunology intersects with topics in Receptor and Macrophage. His Immune system study which covers Antigen that intersects with Germinal center.

Frank Brombacher combines subjects such as Molecular biology and Cell biology with his study of Interleukin 4. His Cytokine research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Proinflammatory cytokine and In vivo. His research integrates issues of Tuberculosis and Mycobacterium tuberculosis in his study of Inflammation.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Immunology (98.44%)
  • Immune system (49.06%)
  • Interleukin 4 (32.81%)

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

  • Immunology (98.44%)
  • Immune system (49.06%)
  • Inflammation (26.25%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Immunology, Immune system, Inflammation, Cytokine and Schistosomiasis. He has researched Immunology in several fields, including Receptor, Disease and CD11c. His Immune system research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Host, Tuberculosis, Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Allergy.

His Mycobacterium tuberculosis research incorporates elements of Transcription Factor Gene, Regulation of gene expression, Gene and Cell biology. His Inflammation course of study focuses on Polyunsaturated fatty acid and Lipid signaling, Endocrinology, Regimen and Ibuprofen. His Cytokine study deals with Effector intersecting with Intracellular.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Mechanical Skin Injury Promotes Food Anaphylaxis by Driving Intestinal Mast Cell Expansion. (50 citations)
  • Transcriptional landscape of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection in macrophages. (35 citations)
  • Transcriptional landscape of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection in macrophages. (35 citations)

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

  • Immune system
  • Gene
  • Cytokine

His primary areas of study are Immunology, Immune system, Interleukin 4, Cell biology and T cell. His studies deal with areas such as Host, GATA3 and Signal transduction as well as Immunology. His work carried out in the field of Immune system brings together such families of science as Offspring, Pregnancy, Helminths and Nursing.

His Interleukin 4 research incorporates themes from Macrophage and Gene knockdown. His Cell biology research focuses on Mycobacterium tuberculosis and how it connects with Transcription Factor Gene, Effector, Intracellular and Interleukin 13. His T cell research integrates issues from Bystander effect, CD8, Respiratory infection, Cytotoxic T cell and Receptor expression.
