Overview

Martine Raes is affiliated with the University of Namur in Belgium and focuses their research primarily within the fields of Medicine and Immunology and Microbiology. Their work spans several related subfields, including Immunology, Epidemiology, Oncology, and Cancer Research.

Their research topics concentrate on immune cells in cancer, adipokines, inflammation and metabolic diseases, inflammatory biomarkers in disease prognosis, cancer, hypoxia and metabolism, and autophagy in disease and therapy.

Raes has contributed to multiple publications across notable venues such as Scientific Reports, Biomedicines, and bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory). Their recent papers include the following:

  • "Cycling hypoxia promotes a pro-inflammatory phenotype in macrophages via JNK/p65 signaling pathway," 2020, Scientific Reports
  • "M2 Monocyte Polarization in Dialyzed Patients Is Associated with Increased Levels of M-CSF and Myeloperoxidase-Associated Oxidative Stress: Preliminary Results," 2021, Biomedicines
  • "M2 monocyte polarization in dialyzed patients is associated with increased levels of M-CSF and myeloperoxidase-associated oxidative stress: preliminary results," 2020, bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)

Collaboration forms an essential part of Raes's research activity. Frequent co-authors include:

  • Valérie Pireaux
