Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Cancer
  • Gene

His primary scientific interests are in In vivo, Pathology, Immunology, Cancer research and Nanotechnology. His studies deal with areas such as Biophysics, Cell culture, Tomography and Molecular biology as well as In vivo. His Pathology research also works with subjects such as

  • Inflammation and related Apolipoprotein E and Myocardial infarction,
  • Magnetic resonance imaging that connect with fields like Nuclear medicine.

Ralph Weissleder works mostly in the field of Immunology, limiting it down to topics relating to Haematopoiesis and, in certain cases, Progenitor cell. He has included themes like Phenotype, Carcinogenesis, Cancer and KRAS in his Cancer research study. As part of the same scientific family, Ralph Weissleder usually focuses on Nanotechnology, concentrating on Molecular imaging and intersecting with Medical imaging and Positron emission tomography.

His most cited work include:

  • A clearer vision for in vivo imaging. (2637 citations)
  • Epigenetic memory in induced pluripotent stem cells (1761 citations)
  • Imaging in the era of molecular oncology (1707 citations)

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

Ralph Weissleder mainly focuses on In vivo, Pathology, Magnetic resonance imaging, Cancer research and Immunology. His In vivo research includes elements of Molecular biology, Biophysics, In vitro and Fluorescence. The Biophysics study combines topics in areas such as Nanoparticle and Biochemistry.

His Pathology research integrates issues from Inflammation, Molecular imaging and Ex vivo. His Magnetic resonance imaging research includes themes of Nuclear medicine and Nuclear magnetic resonance. His studies link Cancer with Cancer research.

He most often published in these fields:

  • In vivo (23.33%)
