Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Cancer
  • DNA

His primary areas of investigation include Pathology, Molecular biology, Cancer research, Comparative genomic hybridization and Carcinogenesis. The Pathology study combines topics in areas such as Esophagus, Stomach and Adenocarcinoma. The study incorporates disciplines such as Glutathione peroxidase, Cancer, Gene expression profiling and Apoptosis, Biochemistry in addition to Molecular biology.

His Cancer research research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Aurora kinase, Protein kinase B, Small interfering RNA, MNDA and Regulation of gene expression. His Comparative genomic hybridization research incorporates elements of Tumor progression and DNA. His research in the fields of Tumor suppressor gene overlaps with other disciplines such as Tyrosine kinase 2.

His most cited work include:

  • Evaluation of malignancy and prognosis of gastrointestinal stromal tumors: a review. (545 citations)
  • Evaluation of malignancy and prognosis of gastrointestinal stromal tumors: a review. (545 citations)
  • DNA copy number amplifications in human neoplasms : Review of comparative genomic hybridization studies (536 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Cancer research, Molecular biology, Cancer, Carcinogenesis and Pathology. His Cancer research research includes themes of Aurora Kinase A, Helicobacter pylori, Cancer cell and Apoptosis, STAT3. DNA and Gene duplication is closely connected to Comparative genomic hybridization in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Molecular biology.

In his research, Epigenetics is intimately related to DNA methylation, which falls under the overarching field of Cancer. His Carcinogenesis study incorporates themes from Inflammation, Immunology, Dysplasia, Gastric mucosa and Regulation of gene expression. Many of his studies involve connections with topics such as Esophagus and Pathology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Cancer research (68.31%)
  • Molecular biology (29.61%)
  • Cancer (33.25%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Cancer research (68.31%)
  • Carcinogenesis (33.77%)
  • Cancer (33.25%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Cancer research, Carcinogenesis, Cancer, Helicobacter pylori and Oxidative stress. Wael El-Rifai interconnects Cancer cell, Esophageal adenocarcinoma, Metastasis, STAT3 and Gene silencing in the investigation of issues within Cancer research. His Esophageal adenocarcinoma study combines topics in areas such as Molecular biology and Wee1.

Many of his studies on Carcinogenesis apply to Radiation therapy as well. His Cancer research includes elements of Stomach, microRNA, MicroRNA sequencing and Real-time polymerase chain reaction. His studies in Oxidative stress integrate themes in fields like Cell culture, Gene knockdown, DNA, DNA damage and GERD.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Helicobacter pylori-induced miR-135b-5p promotes cisplatin resistance in gastric cancer. (20 citations)
  • Helicobacter pylori-induced miR-135b-5p promotes cisplatin resistance in gastric cancer. (20 citations)
  • Inhibition of AURKA Reduces Proliferation and Survival of Gastrointestinal Cancer Cells With Activated KRAS by Preventing Activation of RPS6KB1 (18 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Cancer
  • DNA

Wael El-Rifai mainly focuses on Cancer research, Carcinogenesis, Cancer, Helicobacter pylori and Cancer cell. He combines subjects such as Oxidative stress, Apoptosis, STAT3, microRNA and Gene silencing with his study of Cancer research. His research integrates issues of Esophagus, In vivo, Gene knockdown and Cisplatin in his study of Oxidative stress.

His research investigates the connection between Gene silencing and topics such as CpG site that intersect with issues in Aurora Kinase A. The Cancer study combines topics in areas such as RNA, Stomach, Real-time polymerase chain reaction and Disease. His Helicobacter pylori study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway and Ubiquitin ligase.
