1991 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Enzyme

His scientific interests lie mostly in Cell biology, Mesenchyme, Endoderm, Gastrulation and Genetics. David R. McClay has included themes like Morphogenesis and Anatomy in his Cell biology study. His studies in Mesenchyme integrate themes in fields like Ingression, Blastocoel, Cell type and Somatopleuric mesenchyme.

His Endoderm research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Mesoderm Cell and Mesoderm. His study in Gastrulation is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Molecular biology and Ectoderm. His is involved in several facets of Genetics study, as is seen by his studies on Gene and Gene regulatory network.

His most cited work include:

  • A Genomic Regulatory Network for Development (1292 citations)
  • The genome of the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus. (895 citations)
  • Nuclear beta-catenin is required to specify vegetal cell fates in the sea urchin embryo (395 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Cell biology, Sea urchin, Anatomy, Gastrulation and Embryo. The Cell biology study combines topics in areas such as Genetics, Endoderm and Mesoderm. David R. McClay interconnects Notch signaling pathway and Blastula in the investigation of issues within Endoderm.

His Sea urchin research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Embryonic stem cell and Gene regulatory network. As a part of the same scientific study, David R. McClay usually deals with the Anatomy, concentrating on Ingression and frequently concerns with Somatopleuric mesenchyme. His Embryo study combines topics in areas such as Cleavage and Morphogenesis.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Cell biology (71.93%)
  • Sea urchin (41.52%)
  • Anatomy (28.65%)

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

  • Cell biology (71.93%)
  • Sea urchin (41.52%)
  • Gene regulatory network (12.28%)

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

David R. McClay mainly focuses on Cell biology, Sea urchin, Gene regulatory network, Embryo and Gastrulation. The various areas that David R. McClay examines in his Cell biology study include Genetics, Endoderm, Anatomy and Mesoderm. The concepts of his Anatomy study are interwoven with issues in Body Patterning and Ectoderm.

His research in Sea urchin intersects with topics in Embryonic stem cell, Sea urchin skeletogenesis, Echinoderm, Neurogenesis and Hedgehog. His work carried out in the field of Gene regulatory network brings together such families of science as Evolutionary biology, Lytechinus variegatus, Transcription factor, Morphogenesis and Sea urchin embryo. His Embryo research integrates issues from Cell and Cell type.

Between 2010 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Guidelines and definitions for research on epithelial–mesenchymal transition (174 citations)
  • Evolutionary crossroads in developmental biology: sea urchins (102 citations)
  • Sub-circuits of a gene regulatory network control a developmental epithelial-mesenchymal transition (76 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Genetics

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Cell biology, Gene regulatory network, Genetics, Endoderm and Sea urchin. He specializes in Cell biology, namely Ectoderm. The Gene regulatory network study combines topics in areas such as Human evolutionary genetics, Developmental biology, Morphogenesis, Heliocidaris and Regulation of gene expression.

His Sea urchin research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Process, Body Patterning and Fibroblast growth factor. His research investigates the connection between Anatomy and topics such as Gastrulation that intersect with issues in Stomodeum. His Wnt signaling pathway research incorporates themes from NODAL and Embryo, Embryogenesis.
