Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Cancer

Dirk Geerts spends much of his time researching Cell biology, Integrin, Molecular biology, Cancer research and Plakin. The study incorporates disciplines such as Endothelium, Biochemistry, Actin cytoskeleton and Blood–brain barrier in addition to Cell biology. The concepts of his Integrin study are interwoven with issues in Hemidesmosome, Cytoplasm, Plectin and LIM domain, Zinc finger.

Dirk Geerts has researched Plectin in several fields, including Hemidesmosome assembly and Dystonin. His Molecular biology course of study focuses on Integrin, beta 6 and Two-hybrid screening and Laminin. His Cancer research research incorporates elements of Cell cycle, Kinase, DNA repair and Gene expression profiling.

His most cited work include:

  • In Silico Analysis of Kinase Expression Identifies WEE1 as a Gatekeeper against Mitotic Catastrophe in Glioblastoma (186 citations)
  • Analysis of the interactions between BP180, BP230, plectin and the integrin alpha6beta4 important for hemidesmosome assembly. (181 citations)
  • Analysis of the interactions between BP180, BP230, plectin and the integrin alpha6beta4 important for hemidesmosome assembly. (181 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Cell biology, Cancer research, Molecular biology, Neuroblastoma and Integrin. His research investigates the link between Cell biology and topics such as Gene knockdown that cross with problems in Viability assay. His Cancer research study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Cancer, Cell cycle, Kinase and Cell growth.

His research integrates issues of Gene expression and MAPK/ERK pathway in his study of Molecular biology. His work carried out in the field of Neuroblastoma brings together such families of science as Cell migration, Gene, Polyamine and Ornithine decarboxylase. As part of one scientific family, Dirk Geerts deals mainly with the area of Integrin, narrowing it down to issues related to the Plectin, and often Dystonin and Plakin.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Cell biology (45.45%)
  • Cancer research (31.82%)
  • Molecular biology (21.97%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Cancer research (31.82%)
  • Cell biology (45.45%)
  • Neuroblastoma (20.45%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Cancer research, Cell biology, Neuroblastoma, Cell and Downregulation and upregulation. His studies in Cancer research integrate themes in fields like Tumor necrosis factor alpha, Immunology, Cancer, Cell culture and Cell growth. Particularly relevant to Progenitor cell is his body of work in Cell biology.

The Neuroblastoma study combines topics in areas such as Apoptosis, Annexin, Harmine, Proteasome and Kinase. His studies deal with areas such as Epithelium, Endogeny, Wild type and Vacuole as well as Cell. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Mesenchymal stem cell, Neuroprotection and Voltage-dependent calcium channel.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Orai3 calcium channel and resistance to chemotherapy in breast cancer cells: the p53 connection (46 citations)
  • Tumor sialylation impedes T cell mediated anti-tumor responses while promoting tumor associated-regulatory T cells (39 citations)
  • Polyamine synthesis as a target of MYC oncogenes (34 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Cancer

His primary areas of investigation include Cancer research, Cell biology, Cancer, Regulation of gene expression and Ubiquitin ligase. His research in Cancer research intersects with topics in EC50, Cell growth, Downregulation and upregulation, Immunology and Cell cycle. Dirk Geerts carries out multidisciplinary research, doing studies in Cell biology and Photobleaching.

His Cancer research integrates issues from SOX2, Real-time polymerase chain reaction, Gene knockdown and Lymph node. The study incorporates disciplines such as NF-κB, Signal transduction, Transcription and Transcription factor in addition to Regulation of gene expression. His Ubiquitin ligase study combines topics in areas such as RHOB, RHOA and Subcellular localization.
