Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Apoptosis
  • Biochemistry
  • Mitochondrion

Catherine Brenner mainly focuses on Programmed cell death, Cell biology, Apoptosis, Mitochondrion and Mitochondrial permeability transition pore. Her studies in Programmed cell death integrate themes in fields like Cancer cell, Cell, Viral entry and Intracellular. Her study in the fields of Inner mitochondrial membrane under the domain of Cell biology overlaps with other disciplines such as Pore complex and Adenine nucleotide.

Catherine Brenner interconnects Signal transduction and Neuroscience in the investigation of issues within Apoptosis. Her Mitochondrial permeability transition pore research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Cyclosporin a and Voltage-dependent anion channel. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Pyroptosis, Immunogenic cell death, Intrinsic apoptosis and Necroptosis.

Her most cited work include:

  • Mitochondrial Membrane Permeabilization in Cell Death (2673 citations)
  • Molecular mechanisms of cell death: recommendations of the Nomenclature Committee on Cell Death 2018. (1421 citations)
  • Molecular mechanisms of cell death: recommendations of the Nomenclature Committee on Cell Death 2018. (1421 citations)

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

Mitochondrion, Cell biology, Apoptosis, Programmed cell death and Biochemistry are her primary areas of study. Her research integrates issues of Voltage-dependent anion channel, Cyclosporin a, VDAC1 and Mitochondrial permeability transition pore in her study of Mitochondrion. Her Cell biology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Cell and Bcl-2 family.

Catherine Brenner combines subjects such as Cancer cell, Molecular biology and Signal transduction with her study of Apoptosis. Her Programmed cell death research includes elements of Autophagy, Neuroscience and Immunology. Her Necroptosis research includes themes of Pyroptosis and Immunogenic cell death.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Mitochondrion (67.15%)
  • Cell biology (63.50%)
  • Apoptosis (51.09%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2011-2020)?

  • Cell biology (63.50%)
  • Mitochondrion (67.15%)
  • Programmed cell death (44.53%)

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

Catherine Brenner spends much of her time researching Cell biology, Mitochondrion, Programmed cell death, Apoptosis and Biochemistry. Her Organelle, RAC1 and Small GTPase study, which is part of a larger body of work in Cell biology, is frequently linked to Soluble adenylyl cyclase, bridging the gap between disciplines. Her primary area of study in Mitochondrion is in the field of Adenine nucleotide translocator.

Catherine Brenner has included themes like Autophagy, Neuroscience and Immunology in her Programmed cell death study. Her study in Cancer cell extends to Apoptosis with its themes. The Mitochondrial permeability transition pore, Tauroursodeoxycholic acid, Aquaporin and Glycerol research Catherine Brenner does as part of her general Biochemistry study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Taurochenodeoxycholic acid, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.

Between 2011 and 2020, her most popular works were:

  • Molecular mechanisms of cell death: recommendations of the Nomenclature Committee on Cell Death 2018. (1421 citations)
  • Molecular mechanisms of cell death: recommendations of the Nomenclature Committee on Cell Death 2018. (1421 citations)
  • Essential versus accessory aspects of cell death: recommendations of the NCCD 2015 (591 citations)

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

  • Biochemistry
  • Apoptosis
  • Mitochondrion

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Programmed cell death, Apoptosis, Necroptosis, Cell biology and Neuroscience. Her study in Programmed cell death is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Cyclosporin a, Human Pathology, Neurodegeneration and Cardiovascular physiology. Catherine Brenner has researched Neurodegeneration in several fields, including Caspase, Signal transduction, Intracellular and Cell growth.

Catherine Brenner works mostly in the field of Intracellular, limiting it down to topics relating to Immunology and, in certain cases, Lipotoxicity and Hepatic stellate cell, as a part of the same area of interest. Her work carried out in the field of Necroptosis brings together such families of science as Autophagy, Entosis, Pyroptosis, Immunogenic cell death and Intrinsic apoptosis. Cell biology is closely attributed to Proteome in her work.
