Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Mitochondrion

Benedikt Westermann focuses on Cell biology, Mitochondrion, mitochondrial fusion, Mitochondrial fission and Biochemistry. The Cell biology study combines topics in areas such as Lipid bilayer fusion and Lipid bilayer. Benedikt Westermann combines subjects such as ERMES complex, Membrane protein and Saccharomyces cerevisiae with his study of Mitochondrion.

His mitochondrial fusion research incorporates themes from DNM1L and Programmed cell death. His studies in Programmed cell death integrate themes in fields like BECN1, Computational biology and Autolysosome. He interconnects Caspase, Cytochrome c, Caenorhabditis elegans and Mitochondrial DNA in the investigation of issues within Mitochondrial fission.

His most cited work include:

  • Guidelines for the use and interpretation of assays for monitoring autophagy (3rd edition) (4170 citations)
  • SNAREpins: Minimal Machinery for Membrane Fusion (2120 citations)
  • Mitochondrial fusion and fission in cell life and death (1180 citations)

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

Benedikt Westermann mainly investigates Cell biology, Mitochondrion, mitochondrial fusion, Mitochondrial fission and Translocase of the inner membrane. Benedikt Westermann usually deals with Cell biology and limits it to topics linked to Membrane protein and Fungal protein, Lipid bilayer and Lipid bilayer fusion. His Mitochondrion research incorporates elements of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Yeast, Cell division, Mitochondrial DNA and Organelle.

His mitochondrial fusion study combines topics in areas such as Membrane, Morphogenesis and Membrane contact site. His Mitochondrial fission study incorporates themes from Bioenergetics, Caenorhabditis elegans, Programmed cell death and FIS1. His Translocase of the inner membrane research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Translocase of the outer membrane and Mitochondrial carrier.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Cell biology (82.00%)
  • Mitochondrion (66.00%)
  • mitochondrial fusion (44.00%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Cell biology (82.00%)
  • Mitochondrion (66.00%)
  • Cell division (7.00%)

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

His main research concerns Cell biology, Mitochondrion, Cell division, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Organelle. Cell biology and mitochondrial fusion are commonly linked in his work. His mitochondrial fusion research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Membrane and Mitochondrial fission.

Benedikt Westermann interconnects Lipid droplet, Bacterial outer membrane, ATP synthase and Cytosol in the investigation of issues within Mitochondrion. His Saccharomyces cerevisiae research incorporates elements of Phenotype and Mitochondrial DNA. His Translocase of the inner membrane study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Mitochondrial carrier and ATP–ADP translocase.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Guidelines for the use and interpretation of assays for monitoring autophagy (3rd edition) (4170 citations)
  • Guidelines and recommendations on yeast cell death nomenclature (78 citations)
  • An evidence based hypothesis on the existence of two pathways of mitochondrial crista formation (51 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Mitochondrion

His primary areas of investigation include Cell biology, Mitochondrion, Membrane, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and mitochondrial fusion. Benedikt Westermann incorporates a variety of subjects into his writings, including Cell biology, Interpretation, Arama and Humanities. His work deals with themes such as Cell cortex, Membrane contact site, Cell division and Organelle, which intersect with Mitochondrion.

His Saccharomyces cerevisiae study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Accidental cell death and Mitochondrial membrane permeabilization. The Programmed cell death study combines topics in areas such as BECN1, Model organism, Autolysosome, MAP1LC3B and Chaperone-mediated autophagy. His work carried out in the field of Computational biology brings together such families of science as Autophagy, Sequestosome 1, Autophagosome and Physiology.
