Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Cancer
  • Optics
  • Internal medicine

Her primary scientific interests are in Optics, Fluorescence, Pathology, In vivo and Fluorescence spectroscopy. While the research belongs to areas of Optics, Rebecca Richards-Kortum spends her time largely on the problem of Epithelium, intersecting her research to questions surrounding Mouth neoplasm. In her work, Cervical tissue is strongly intertwined with Nuclear magnetic resonance, which is a subfield of Fluorescence.

The various areas that she examines in her Pathology study include Optical imaging and Cancer, Cervix. Her study looks at the intersection of In vivo and topics like Confocal with Lens and Optical coherence tomography. Her work investigates the relationship between Fluorescence spectroscopy and topics such as Autofluorescence that intersect with problems in Oral mucosa.

Her most cited work include:

  • QUANTITATIVE OPTICAL SPECTROSCOPY FOR TISSUE DIAGNOSIS (997 citations)
  • Real-Time Vital Optical Imaging of Precancer Using Anti-Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Antibodies Conjugated to Gold Nanoparticles (794 citations)
  • Fiber optic probes for biomedical optical spectroscopy. (415 citations)

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

Rebecca Richards-Kortum mainly investigates Pathology, Optics, Fluorescence, Fluorescence spectroscopy and In vivo. Her Pathology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Confocal microscopy, Cancer, Autofluorescence and Biomedical engineering. Her research in Microscope, Optical fiber, Confocal, Scattering and Light scattering are components of Optics.

Her Fluorescence research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Wavelength, Nuclear magnetic resonance and Analytical chemistry. In her research, Colposcopy is intimately related to Cervix, which falls under the overarching field of Fluorescence spectroscopy. Her work deals with themes such as Biopsy and Radiology, which intersect with Dysplasia.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Pathology (26.52%)
  • Optics (23.63%)
  • Fluorescence (16.16%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Radiology (11.89%)
  • Cervical cancer (6.86%)
  • Cancer (12.80%)

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

Her primary areas of study are Radiology, Cervical cancer, Cancer, Point of care and Low resource. Her Radiology research integrates issues from Autofluorescence and Dysplasia. In the field of Cervical cancer, her study on Colposcopy, Cervical cancer screening and Cervical cancer prevention overlaps with subjects such as High resolution.

She has included themes like Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, MEDLINE and Family medicine in her Colposcopy study. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Optical imaging, Cancer research, In vivo and Histopathology. Her Point of care research focuses on subjects like Internal medicine, which are linked to Gastroenterology.

Between 2015 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Multiplexed Recombinase Polymerase Amplification Assay To Detect Intestinal Protozoa (80 citations)
  • A tablet-interfaced high-resolution microendoscope with automated image interpretation for real-time evaluation of esophageal squamous cell neoplasia. (55 citations)
  • Noninvasive diagnostic adjuncts for the evaluation of potentially premalignant oral epithelial lesions: current limitations and future directions. (33 citations)

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

  • Cancer
  • Internal medicine
  • Optics

Her primary scientific interests are in Radiology, Internal medicine, Dysplasia, Survival rate and Biopsy. Her Radiology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Cervical cancer, Pathology and Cervix. Rebecca Richards-Kortum is studying Stroma, which is a component of Pathology.

Her Internal medicine research incorporates elements of Gastroenterology, Point-of-care testing, Immunoassay, Vaccination and Point of care. Her Dysplasia study combines topics in areas such as Disease progression, Oncology and Proflavine. Her Biopsy study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Gold standard, Autofluorescence and Intensive care medicine.
