Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Neural crest
  • Cellular differentiation

Marianne Bronner-Fraser spends much of her time researching Neural crest, Neural fold, Anatomy, Neural plate and Neural tube. Her Neural crest study necessitates a more in-depth grasp of Cell biology. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Neurulation, Neural crest cell migration and Molecular biology.

Her Anatomy study also includes

  • Somite which connect with Hindbrain,
  • Vertebrate which is related to area like Evolutionary biology and Gene regulatory network. Marianne Bronner-Fraser combines subjects such as EPH receptor A3, Receptor tyrosine kinase, Zebrafish, Organogenesis and Neuroscience with her study of Neural plate. Her Neural tube research includes elements of Neuroepithelial cell and Notochord, Embryogenesis.

Her most cited work include:

  • Cancerous stem cells can arise from pediatric brain tumors (1573 citations)
  • The amphioxus genome and the evolution of the chordate karyotype (1321 citations)
  • Epithelial-mesenchymal transitions: the importance of changing cell state in development and disease (1018 citations)

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

Her primary areas of investigation include Neural crest, Cell biology, Anatomy, Neural fold and Neural tube. Her Neural crest research incorporates themes from Neurulation, Ectoderm and Neuroscience. Her Cell biology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Immunology, Genetics, Endocrinology and Internal medicine.

In her study, Evolutionary biology, Lamprey and Gene regulatory network is inextricably linked to Vertebrate, which falls within the broad field of Anatomy. Her Neural fold research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Neural crest cell migration, Organogenesis and Ectomesenchyme. Her research on Neural tube also deals with topics like

  • Neuroepithelial cell, which have a strong connection to Neurosphere,
  • Notochord and related Floor plate.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Neural crest (76.45%)
  • Cell biology (45.57%)
  • Anatomy (44.95%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2008-2016)?

  • Neural crest (76.45%)
  • Cell biology (45.57%)
  • Anatomy (44.95%)

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

Marianne Bronner-Fraser mainly investigates Neural crest, Cell biology, Anatomy, Neuroscience and Vertebrate. Her work on Cranial neural crest and Neural fold as part of general Neural crest study is frequently linked to Population, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. Her Neural fold study is concerned with Neural plate in general.

Her studies in Cell biology integrate themes in fields like Epithelial–mesenchymal transition, Molecular biology, Enhancer and Epigenetics. Her studies deal with areas such as Surface ectoderm, Eye development, Embryonic Induction, Cell type and Embryo as well as Anatomy. Her Neuroscience research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Neural tube, Gnathostomata, FOXD3, Ectoderm and Gene.

Between 2008 and 2016, her most popular works were:

  • Epithelial-mesenchymal transitions: the importance of changing cell state in development and disease (1018 citations)
  • Assembling neural crest regulatory circuits into a gene regulatory network. (225 citations)
  • Genomic code for Sox10 activation reveals a key regulatory enhancer for cranial neural crest (152 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Cellular differentiation
  • Genetics

Neural crest, Cell biology, Anatomy, Neuroscience and Neural fold are her primary areas of study. Her study in the field of Cranial neural crest also crosses realms of Population. The study incorporates disciplines such as Epithelial–mesenchymal transition, Cellular differentiation and Immunology in addition to Cell biology.

Her Anatomy research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Ectomesenchyme, GDF5, Gastrulation and Ectoderm. The various areas that she examines in her Neural fold study include Neurulation and Histone. Her study explores the link between Neurulation and topics such as Neural plate that cross with problems in Organogenesis, Neurula and Convergent extension.
