Overview

Brant M. Weinstein is a researcher affiliated with the National Institutes of Health in the United States, focusing on molecular biology-related fields with a specialization in zebrafish biomedical research applications. Their research outputs span over a broad range of topics including angiogenesis and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in cancer, congenital heart defects, retinal development and disorders, single-cell and spatial transcriptomics, the lymphatic system and related diseases, as well as subterranean biodiversity and taxonomy.

Their main field of study is Biochemistry, Genetics, and Molecular Biology with a specific focus on subfields such as Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, Oncology, Immunology, and Paleontology.

They have contributed frequently to several scientific publication venues. Most notably, they have published 17 papers in bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), 4 in Angiogenesis, 3 in Nature Communications, 2 in Development, and 2 in Zebrafish.

Among their recent scientific papers are:

  • Chemokine mediated signalling within arteries promotes vascular smooth muscle cell recruitment (2020, Communications Biology)
