Weiss has contributed to multiple recent publications, among which are:

  • Not4 and Not5 modulate translation elongation by Rps7A ubiquitination, Rli1 moonlighting, and condensates that exclude eIF5A (2021, Cell Reports)
  • eIF4E3 forms an active eIF4F complex during stresses (eIF4FS) targeting mTOR and re-programs the translatome (2021, Nucleic Acids Research)
  • Inhibitors of eIF4G1-eIF1 uncover its regulatory role of ER/UPR stress-response genes independent of eIF2α-phosphorylation (2022, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences)
  • Not1 and Not4 inversely determine mRNA solubility that sets the dynamics of co-translational events (2023, Genome Biology)
  • Topological characteristic factors and nilsystems (2023, Journal of the European Mathematical Society)

Frequent collaborators include George E. Allen, Olesya O. Panasenko, Zoltán Villányi, Marina Zagatti, and Christine Polte. Weiss has published multiple papers in venues such as bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Cell Reports, arXiv (Cornell University), Nucleic Acids Research, and Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Their scholarly work exhibits a strong integration of molecular biology techniques and computational approaches, including contributions to computational theory and mathematics alongside molecular and cellular neuroscience. Additionally, Weiss's research encompasses mathematical physics and finance topics.

The scientist's work is characterized by investigations into the molecular mechanisms regulating RNA biology and protein synthesis, as well as their implications on disease models including cancer and neurodegenerative disorders.
