Overview

Nina R. Salama is affiliated with the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in the United States. Their research predominantly focuses on medicine, with particular emphasis on surgery, immunology, molecular biology, genetics, and pulmonary and respiratory medicine as subfields of study. Their body of work covers several specific topics related to gastrointestinal and cancer biology.

The main research areas investigated by Salama include:

  • Helicobacter pylori-related gastroenterology studies
  • Galectins and cancer biology
  • Gastric cancer management and outcomes
  • Eosinophilic esophagitis
  • Gastrointestinal disorders and treatments
  • Gastroesophageal reflux and treatments
  • Bacterial genetics and biotechnology

Significant recent publications authored or co-authored by Salama include:

  • The ALPK1/TIFA/NF-κB axis links a bacterial carcinogen to R-loop-induced replication stress, 2020, Nature Communications
  • Distinct cytoskeletal proteins define zones of enhanced cell wall synthesis in Helicobacter pylori, 2020, eLife
  • Cell morphology as a virulence determinant: lessons from Helicobacter pylori, 2020, Current Opinion in Microbiology
  • Distinct regions of H. pylori's bactofilin CcmA regulate protein-protein interactions to control helical cell shape, 2022, eLife
  • Characterization of HOXB13 expression patterns in localized and metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, 2023, The Journal of Pathology

Nina R. Salama has frequently published in several academic venues, including:

  • bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
  • Cancer Research
  • eLife
  • Nature Communications
  • Current Opinion in Microbiology

The scientist collaborates regularly with a set of co-authors, showing repeat partnership in multiple research papers. Those frequent collaborators are:

  • Valerie P. O'Brien
  • Dornell Pete
  • Benjamin P. Bratton
  • Sophie R Sichel
  • Julien Dubrulle

Throughout their career, Salama's work has explored diverse yet interconnected aspects of microbial pathogenesis, host interaction, and molecular mechanisms underlying cancer-related processes and bacterial behavior. The integration of topics such as Helicobacter pylori morphology and virulence with cancer biology reflects a cross-disciplinary approach within biomedical research.
