Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Apoptosis

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Kinase, Signal transduction, MAPK/ERK pathway, Proto-Oncogene Proteins c-raf and Cell biology. Her study looks at the intersection of Kinase and topics like Phosphorylation with Growth factor and JUNB. As a part of the same scientific family, Manuela Baccarini mostly works in the field of Signal transduction, focusing on Cancer research and, on occasion, Oncogene, Carcinogenesis, c-Raf, Effector and Gene silencing.

Her MAPK/ERK pathway study incorporates themes from Tumor necrosis factor alpha, Internal medicine and Endocrinology. The Proto-Oncogene Proteins c-raf study combines topics in areas such as Cell migration, Mitogen-activated protein kinase, Cell adhesion, Cytoskeleton and ASK1. Her Cell biology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Tumor suppressor gene and Apoptosis, Cell cycle.

Her most cited work include:

  • RASSF1A elicits apoptosis through an MST2 pathway directing proapoptotic transcription by the p73 tumor suppressor protein. (321 citations)
  • Central role for type I interferons and Tyk2 in lipopolysaccharide-induced endotoxin shock. (320 citations)
  • Embryonic lethality and fetal liver apoptosis in mice lacking the c‐raf‐1 gene (262 citations)

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

Cell biology, MAPK/ERK pathway, Kinase, Signal transduction and Cancer research are her primary areas of study. Her Cell biology research focuses on subjects like Mutant, which are linked to In vitro.
