Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Mutation

Carol W. Greider mainly investigates Telomerase, Telomere, Molecular biology, Telomerase reverse transcriptase and Telomerase RNA component. His Telomerase research incorporates themes from RNA, Q-FISH and Cell growth. Carol W. Greider focuses mostly in the field of Telomere, narrowing it down to topics relating to Cell biology and, in certain cases, Apoptosis and Phenotype.

He interconnects Cell division, Tetrahymena and Somatic cell in the investigation of issues within Molecular biology. His research on Telomerase reverse transcriptase also deals with topics like

  • Dyskeratosis congenita, which have a strong connection to Germline,
  • Immunology which intersects with area such as Programmed cell death,
  • Immortalised cell line which is related to area like Gene expression. His work on Ribonucleoprotein expands to the thematically related Telomerase RNA component.

His most cited work include:

  • Telomeres shorten during ageing of human fibroblasts. (4654 citations)
  • Identification of a specific telomere terminal transferase activity in tetrahymena extracts (2673 citations)
  • Telomere length predicts replicative capacity of human fibroblasts. (1941 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Telomere, Telomerase, Molecular biology, Telomerase RNA component and Cell biology. Carol W. Greider has researched Telomere in several fields, including Cancer research and DNA replication. Carol W. Greider is interested in Telomerase reverse transcriptase, which is a field of Telomerase.

In his work, Immunology is strongly intertwined with Dyskeratosis congenita, which is a subfield of Telomerase reverse transcriptase. His studies in Molecular biology integrate themes in fields like Cell culture, Cell division and Q-FISH. His research integrates issues of Non-coding RNA, RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, Polymerase and DNA polymerase in his study of Telomerase RNA component.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Telomere (91.11%)
  • Telomerase (82.96%)
  • Molecular biology (37.04%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Telomere (91.11%)
  • Cell biology (37.78%)
  • Telomerase (82.96%)

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

Carol W. Greider mostly deals with Telomere, Cell biology, Telomerase, Telomere Length Maintenance and Budding yeast. In his works, Carol W. Greider undertakes multidisciplinary study on Telomere and MRX complex. As a member of one scientific family, Carol W. Greider mostly works in the field of Cell biology, focusing on Telomere elongation and, on occasion, DNA replication, Protein phosphatase 1, Telomere Lengthening and Mutant.

His research on Telomerase concerns the broader Gene. His Telomere Length Maintenance research integrates issues from Mutation, Amino acid, DNA and Function. His Processivity research focuses on TINF2 and how it connects with Regulator.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Diagnostic utility of telomere length testing in a hospital-based setting (72 citations)
  • TIN2 Functions with TPP1/POT1 To Stimulate Telomerase Processivity. (17 citations)
  • Increasing gender diversity in the STEM research workforce (16 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Mutation

Telomere, Telomerase, Gender diversity, International research and Trace are his primary areas of study. He incorporates Telomere and MRX complex in his studies. His Telomerase research is included under the broader classification of Genetics.

His Gender diversity research overlaps with other disciplines such as Agriculture, Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 and Workforce.
