Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Biochemistry

Carl Nathan mainly focuses on Biochemistry, Nitric oxide synthase, Nitric oxide, Molecular biology and Immunology. His studies in Nitric oxide synthase integrate themes in fields like Regulation of gene expression, Calmodulin, ATP synthase and Microbiology. His work investigates the relationship between Microbiology and topics such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis that intersect with problems in Phagosome, Bacterial genetics and Cell envelope.

He has included themes like Protein processing, Post translational, Arginine and Cofactor in his Nitric oxide study. Carl Nathan has researched Molecular biology in several fields, including Tumor necrosis factor alpha, Phagocytosis, Interferon gamma, Cytokine and Transcription factor. His Inflammation and Immune system study in the realm of Immunology connects with subjects such as Context.

His most cited work include:

  • Nitric oxide as a secretory product of mammalian cells. (3949 citations)
  • NITRIC OXIDE AND MACROPHAGE FUNCTION (3422 citations)
  • Nitric oxide synthases: Roles, tolls, and controls (2616 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Biochemistry, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Microbiology, Molecular biology and Immunology. Carl Nathan focuses mostly in the field of Biochemistry, narrowing it down to topics relating to Nitric oxide and, in certain cases, Arginine. His Mycobacterium tuberculosis research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Pathogen, Antibiotics, Gene and Bacteria.

Carl Nathan usually deals with Microbiology and limits it to topics linked to Macrophage and Secretion. His Molecular biology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Tumor necrosis factor alpha, Cell culture, In vitro, Interferon gamma and Lipopolysaccharide. The concepts of his Tumor necrosis factor alpha study are interwoven with issues in Cytokine and Cell biology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Biochemistry (32.80%)
  • Mycobacterium tuberculosis (24.15%)
  • Microbiology (21.64%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2021)?

  • Mycobacterium tuberculosis (24.15%)
  • Microbiology (21.64%)
  • Tuberculosis (11.39%)

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

Carl Nathan mainly investigates Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Microbiology, Tuberculosis, Immunology and Biochemistry. Carl Nathan combines subjects such as Pathogen, Antibiotics, In vitro, Proteasome and Isoniazid with his study of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. His Microbiology study also includes fields such as

  • Mechanism of action most often made with reference to Bacteria,
  • Mycobacterium which intersects with area such as Pharmacophore.

His Tuberculosis research incorporates themes from Tumor necrosis factor alpha, Macrophage, Nitazoxanide and Virology. His Immunology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Cancer and Transplanted Organs. He undertakes interdisciplinary study in the fields of Biochemistry and Selectivity through his works.

Between 2010 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Beyond oxidative stress: an immunologist’s guide to reactive oxygen species (742 citations)
  • dSarm/Sarm1 Is Required for Activation of an Injury-Induced Axon Death Pathway (353 citations)
  • Open Source Drug Discovery with the Malaria Box Compound Collection for Neglected Diseases and Beyond. (257 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Bacteria

Carl Nathan mainly focuses on Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Microbiology, Tuberculosis, Antibiotics and Cell biology. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Biochemistry, Immune system, Immunology, Peptidoglycan and Drug. His Biochemistry study frequently draws connections to other fields, such as Metabolomics.

His Microbiology research includes themes of Nitazoxanide, Homeostasis, Reactive nitrogen species and Antimycobacterial. His research integrates issues of Fatty acid, Drug resistance, Cytotoxicity and Virology in his study of Tuberculosis. The study incorporates disciplines such as Cell, Cell division, Receptor and Bacterial cell structure in addition to Cell biology.
