Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Cancer

His main research concerns microRNA, Genetics, Gene, Cancer and Cancer research. His microRNA research incorporates themes from Suppressor, Gene silencing, Cell and Bioinformatics. His study in the fields of RNA, Reporter gene, Downregulation and upregulation and Genomics under the domain of Gene overlaps with other disciplines such as Extramural.

Frank J. Slack interconnects Regulation of gene expression and Computational biology in the investigation of issues within RNA. His study in Reporter gene is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Gene dosage, LIN28, Phenotype and Regulator gene. His Cancer research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Cell growth and Function.

His most cited work include:

  • Oncomirs — microRNAs with a role in cancer (5083 citations)
