Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genetics

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Cell biology, Genetics, Signal transduction, Drosophila Protein and Gene. His Cell biology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Downregulation and upregulation and Cell growth. His Cell growth research incorporates themes from P70-S6 Kinase 1 and Protein kinase A.

His Signal transduction research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Molecular biology and Insulin. His Drosophila Protein research includes elements of Morphogenesis and Drosophila. His research in the fields of Homeotic gene, Human genome and Genome overlaps with other disciplines such as Tandem mass spectrometry.

His most cited work include:

  • Extension of Life-Span by Loss of CHICO, a Drosophila Insulin Receptor Substrate Protein (1169 citations)
  • Regulation of mTOR function in response to hypoxia by REDD1 and the TSC1/TSC2 tumor suppressor complex (1013 citations)
  • An evolutionarily conserved function of the Drosophila insulin receptor and insulin-like peptides in growth control (939 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Cell biology, Genetics, Signal transduction, Drosophila Protein and Drosophila melanogaster. Ernst Hafen works on Cell biology which deals in particular with Receptor tyrosine kinase. His Signal transduction research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Molecular biology, Transcription factor and Kinase, Protein kinase A.

He studied Drosophila Protein and Proteome that intersect with Computational biology and Systems biology. His work on Drosophila as part of general Drosophila melanogaster research is frequently linked to Insulin receptor substrate, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Gene research incorporates elements of Evolutionary biology and Function.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Cell biology (46.24%)
  • Genetics (36.99%)
  • Signal transduction (28.32%)

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

  • Cell biology (46.24%)
  • Drosophila melanogaster (17.34%)
  • Genetics (36.99%)

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

Ernst Hafen mostly deals with Cell biology, Drosophila melanogaster, Genetics, Evolutionary biology and Gene. Ernst Hafen has researched Cell biology in several fields, including Glycosylation, Hemolymph and Morphogenesis. Ernst Hafen studies Drosophila melanogaster, namely Drosophila Protein.

The concepts of his Genetics study are interwoven with issues in Signalling and Homeostasis. As part of his studies on Gene, Ernst Hafen often connects relevant areas like Steroid hormone. In his research on the topic of Developmental biology, Germline, Somatic cell and Signal transduction is strongly related with Autophagy.

Between 2011 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Biochemical Membrane Lipidomics during Drosophila Development (96 citations)
  • Will Democracy Survive Big Data and Artificial Intelligence (80 citations)
  • Health Data Cooperatives – Citizen Empowerment (72 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genetics

Ernst Hafen mainly focuses on Cell biology, Drosophila Protein, Drosophila melanogaster, Evolutionary biology and Genome-wide association study. The study incorporates disciplines such as Hemolymph and Morphogenesis in addition to Cell biology. His studies in Drosophila Protein integrate themes in fields like Proteome, Proteomics, Transcription, Regulation of gene expression and RNA-binding protein.

His studies deal with areas such as Molecular biology, Protein biosynthesis, Sphingolipid and Mutant as well as Drosophila melanogaster. His Evolutionary biology research includes themes of Genetics, Genetic diversity, Phenotype, Genetic variability and Genetic variation. His Genome-wide association study research is within the category of Gene.
