Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Cell biology
  • DNA

Cell biology, Actin, Motility, Lamellipodium and Actin cytoskeleton are his primary areas of study. His Cell biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Cell morphology, Cell and Cytoskeleton. His Actin study combines topics in areas such as Biophysics, Anatomy, Protein filament and Cell movement.

Alex Mogilner combines subjects such as Polymerization and Ratchet with his study of Protein filament. His Motility research includes themes of Adhesion and Treadmilling. He works mostly in the field of Lamellipodium, limiting it down to concerns involving Myosin and, occasionally, Leading edge, Fluid dynamics, Intracellular Fluid and Actinin.

His most cited work include:

  • Cell motility driven by actin polymerization (747 citations)
  • Actin and alpha-actinin orchestrate the assembly and maturation of nascent adhesions in a myosin II motor-independent manner. (613 citations)
  • Mechanism of shape determination in motile cells (550 citations)

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

Alex Mogilner focuses on Cell biology, Biophysics, Actin, Microtubule and Motility. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Spindle apparatus and Actin remodeling of neurons, Actin cytoskeleton, Actin remodeling, Cytoskeleton. His Biophysics research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Cell, Cell type, Cytoplasm, Nanotechnology and Treadmilling.

His research in Actin intersects with topics in Leading edge, Lamellipodium, Protein filament and Myosin. His Leading edge research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Adhesion and Pseudopodia. His study looks at the relationship between Microtubule and fields such as Molecular motor, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.
