Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

Leona D. Samson spends much of her time researching DNA repair, DNA glycosylase, DNA, Base excision repair and DNA damage. Her studies deal with areas such as Molecular biology and Cancer research as well as DNA repair. Her DNA glycosylase study frequently draws connections to other fields, such as Immunology.

Her DNA research is included under the broader classification of Biochemistry. Her Base excision repair research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Carcinogenesis, Nucleotide excision repair, Base pair and AP site. Her study with DNA damage involves better knowledge in Genetics.

Her most cited work include:

  • The Lancet Commission on pollution and health (1211 citations)
  • Systematic Discovery of In Vivo Phosphorylation Networks (636 citations)
  • A new pathway for DNA repair in Escherichia coli. (577 citations)

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

Leona D. Samson mainly focuses on DNA repair, Molecular biology, DNA, DNA damage and DNA glycosylase. As part of her studies on DNA repair, Leona D. Samson frequently links adjacent subjects like Cancer research. Her study looks at the relationship between Molecular biology and fields such as O-6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.

Her DNA research is under the purview of Biochemistry. The concepts of her DNA damage study are interwoven with issues in DNA replication, Programmed cell death, Homologous recombination and Cell biology. Her DNA glycosylase study combines topics in areas such as Base excision repair, Deamination, Carcinogenesis and AP site.

She most often published in these fields:

  • DNA repair (50.00%)
  • Molecular biology (43.42%)
  • DNA (39.91%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • DNA repair (50.00%)
  • DNA damage (38.16%)
  • Base excision repair (24.56%)

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

Leona D. Samson mainly investigates DNA repair, DNA damage, Base excision repair, Cancer research and Cell biology. Her DNA repair research entails a greater understanding of Biochemistry. Her DNA damage study frequently links to other fields, such as Molecular biology.

Her Base excision repair research incorporates elements of DNA Alkylation, Retinal degeneration and Kidney disease. Her studies in Cancer research integrate themes in fields like Mutation, Cancer, MSH2 and DNA Repair Protein. Her DNA glycosylase research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Carcinogenesis and AP site.

Between 2013 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • The Lancet Commission on pollution and health (1211 citations)
  • ARID1A deficiency promotes mutability and potentiates therapeutic antitumor immunity unleashed by immune checkpoint blockade (149 citations)
  • The human gut bacterial genotoxin colibactin alkylates DNA (131 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

Leona D. Samson mostly deals with DNA repair, DNA damage, DNA mismatch repair, Base excision repair and Molecular biology. Her research in DNA repair intersects with topics in Homologous recombination and Bioinformatics. Her DNA damage research is classified as research in DNA.

Her study looks at the intersection of DNA mismatch repair and topics like Cancer research with Mutation, Cancer and MSH2. Her Base excision repair study frequently draws connections to adjacent fields such as DNA glycosylase. In her research on the topic of Molecular biology, DNA replication, Proliferating cell nuclear antigen, Replication factor C and RFC2 is strongly related with DNA methylation.
