Overview

Martha R. Stampfer is affiliated with the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in the United States. Their research spans multiple fields within the life sciences, focusing primarily on Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology, with a substantial body of work also in Medicine.

The main subfields of their research include Molecular Biology, Oncology, Physiology, Cancer Research, and Aging. Their studies frequently address topics such as Cancer Cells and Metastasis, Epigenetics and DNA Methylation, Telomeres, Telomerase, and Senescence, Genetics, Aging, and Longevity in Model Organisms, Genomics and Chromatin Dynamics, MicroRNA in disease regulation, and BRCA gene mutations in cancer.

Stampfer has published research in various academic venues. The most frequent among these are bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), where they have three publications, followed by Cancer Prevention Research and Cancer Research with two publications each. Additional venues include Nature Aging and Aging Cell.

Recent papers authored or co-authored by Stampfer include the following:

  • "Evidence for accelerated aging in mammary epithelia of women carrying germline BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations," 2021, Nature Aging
  • "Early growth response 2 (EGR2) is a novel regulator of the senescence programme," 2021, Aging Cell
  • "AXL Is a Driver of Stemness in Normal Mammary Gland and Breast Cancer," 2020, iScience
  • "Breast-Specific Molecular Clocks Comprised ofELF5 Expression and Promoter Methylation Identify Individuals Susceptible to Cancer Initiation," 2021, Cancer Prevention Research
  • "Luminal epithelial cells integrate variable responses to aging into stereotypical changes that underlie breast cancer susceptibility," 2024, eLife

The researcher collaborates frequently with several colleagues, including Mark A. LaBarge, Masaru Miyano, James C. Garbe, Sundus Shalabi, and Rosalyn W. Sayaman, reflecting a network of productive research partnerships.
