Overview

Bela Novak is affiliated with the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom. Their research primarily spans the fields of Biochemistry, Genetics, and Molecular Biology, with a total of 45 publications in this broad area. Within this domain, their work is concentrated in several subfields including Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, Plant Science, Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience, and Biophysics.

The scientist's research topics cover a diverse range of cellular and molecular mechanisms. Major themes include Microtubule and mitosis dynamics, Gene Regulatory Network Analysis, Fungal and yeast genetics research, Plant Molecular Biology Research, Genomics and Chromatin Dynamics, Photoreceptor and optogenetics research, and Single-cell and spatial transcriptomics.

Bela Novak has authored several recent papers published in notable journals. These include:

  • "Cyclin A triggers Mitosis either via the Greatwall kinase pathway or Cyclin B" (2020) in The EMBO Journal
  • "A Dynamical Paradigm for Molecular Cell Biology" (2020) in Trends in Cell Biology
  • "Time-keeping and decision-making in the cell cycle" (2022) in Interface Focus
  • "Mechanisms of signalling-memory governing progression through the eukaryotic cell cycle" (2021) in Current Opinion in Cell Biology
  • "A Single Light-Responsive Sizer Can Control Multiple-Fission Cycles in Chlamydomonas" (2020) in Current Biology

The publication venues where Bela Novak frequently appears include bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory) with eight publications, Current Biology and Molecular Biology of the Cell with two publications each, as well as The EMBO Journal and Trends in Cell Biology.

Collaborations have been a significant aspect of Novak's scientific output. Frequent co-authors are John J. Tyson, Calin-Mihai Dragoi, Paul Lang, Alexis R. Barr, and David R. Penas. Notably, John J. Tyson appears as a co-author on seventeen occasions, indicating a longstanding research partnership.
