Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Internal medicine

His primary areas of investigation include AMPK, AMP-activated protein kinase, Internal medicine, Endocrinology and Protein kinase A. His AMPK research incorporates themes from Metformin, Cell growth and Skeletal muscle. His AMP-activated protein kinase study incorporates themes from Glycolysis, mTORC1, Lipogenesis and Oxidative phosphorylation.

His Endocrinology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Gene expression and Mitochondrial biogenesis. His Protein kinase A research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Adenylate kinase, Neuroprotection and Adenosine monophosphate. His Cell biology research integrates issues from Proinflammatory cytokine and Energy homeostasis.

His most cited work include:

  • AMPK and mTOR regulate autophagy through direct phosphorylation of Ulk1 (3674 citations)
  • Phosphorylation of ULK1 (hATG1) by AMP-Activated Protein Kinase Connects Energy Sensing to Mitophagy (1638 citations)
  • Cellular and molecular mechanisms of metformin: an overview (1062 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are AMPK, AMP-activated protein kinase, Protein kinase A, Internal medicine and Endocrinology. His research on AMPK often connects related areas such as Skeletal muscle. His study in AMP-activated protein kinase is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Glycolysis, Enzyme activator, Signal transduction, Oxidative phosphorylation and Mitochondrion.

In his research, Carcinogenesis is intimately related to Cancer research, which falls under the overarching field of Protein kinase A. His studies in Metformin, Lipid metabolism, Insulin receptor, Glucose transporter and Beta oxidation are all subfields of Internal medicine research. His Cell biology research focuses on Transcription factor and how it connects with Gene expression.

He most often published in these fields:

  • AMPK (166.93%)
  • AMP-activated protein kinase (98.58%)
  • Protein kinase A (98.89%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • AMPK (166.93%)
  • Cell biology (84.34%)
  • Protein kinase A (98.89%)

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

Benoit Viollet mainly investigates AMPK, Cell biology, Protein kinase A, Internal medicine and Endocrinology. A large part of his AMPK studies is devoted to AMP-activated protein kinase. His Cell biology study incorporates themes from Autophagy, Inflammation and Gene knockdown.

Benoit Viollet has researched Protein kinase A in several fields, including Beta oxidation, Lipogenesis, Activator and Energy homeostasis. His study looks at the relationship between Internal medicine and fields such as Lipid oxidation, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. His research in Endocrinology tackles topics such as Knockout mouse which are related to areas like NADPH oxidase, Integrin alpha M, Downregulation and upregulation and Endothelial dysfunction.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • AMPK in skeletal muscle function and metabolism. (128 citations)
  • AMPK in skeletal muscle function and metabolism. (128 citations)
  • AMPK in skeletal muscle function and metabolism. (128 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Internal medicine

Benoit Viollet mostly deals with AMPK, Cell biology, Protein kinase A, Metformin and Endocrinology. His studies in AMPK integrate themes in fields like Diabetes mellitus, Carbohydrate metabolism, Glucose uptake and Skeletal muscle. The study incorporates disciplines such as Inflammation, Dendritic cell and Autophagy in addition to Cell biology.

Benoit Viollet specializes in Protein kinase A, namely AMP-activated protein kinase. His Metformin research includes themes of Cancer, Methylation and Pharmacology. His Endocrinology study frequently links to related topics such as Internal medicine.
