Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • DNA

Genetics, Doublecortin, Lissencephaly, Microtubule and Gene are her primary areas of study. Her study connects Molecular biology and Genetics. In her study, Human brain and Neuron is strongly linked to Cell biology, which falls under the umbrella field of Doublecortin.

Her research in Lissencephaly tackles topics such as Cytoskeleton which are related to areas like Neuroblast differentiation, Corticogenesis, Soma and Transfection. Her Microtubule research incorporates themes from TUBG1, Germline, Microcephaly and Cortical dysplasia. Her research investigates the connection between Microtubule-associated protein and topics such as Neuroscience that intersect with issues in OMIM : Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man.

Her most cited work include:

  • The DNA sequence of human chromosome 21 (974 citations)
  • An autoimmune disease, APECED, caused by mutations in a novel gene featuring two PHD-type zinc-finger domains (936 citations)
  • The DNA sequence of the human X chromosome (904 citations)

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

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Genetics, Neuroscience, Doublecortin, Gene and Cell biology. Her is doing research in Missense mutation, Contig, Gene mapping, X chromosome and Exon, both of which are found in Genetics. Her Doublecortin research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Microtubule-associated protein, Knockout mouse, Lissencephaly and Anatomy.

Her research in Lissencephaly focuses on subjects like Phenotype, which are connected to Wild type. When carried out as part of a general Gene research project, her work on Homology and Gene expression is frequently linked to work in PHEX and NKG2, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. In the field of Cell biology, her study on Microtubule and Neural stem cell overlaps with subjects such as PAX6.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (53.61%)
  • Neuroscience (49.40%)
  • Doublecortin (36.75%)

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

  • Cell biology (31.33%)
  • Cerebral cortex (20.48%)
  • Microtubule (28.31%)

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

Her main research concerns Cell biology, Cerebral cortex, Microtubule, Neuroscience and Progenitor cell. Her Cell biology study combines topics in areas such as Golgi apparatus and Mutant. Her Cerebral cortex research integrates issues from Heterozygote advantage, Corticogenesis, Corpus callosum and Heterotopia.

A large part of her Microtubule studies is devoted to Tubulin. Her work carried out in the field of Neuroscience brings together such families of science as Regulation of gene expression, Clinical phenotype and Disease. Her research on Progenitor cell also deals with topics like

  • Cell cycle and related Neurogenesis, Pachygyria, Ciliogenesis and Interneuron migration,
  • Cell division that connect with fields like Lissencephaly and Mitosis.

Between 2017 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Microtubule architecture in vitro and in cells revealed by cryo-electron tomography (38 citations)
  • Microtubule architecture in vitro and in cells revealed by cryo-electron tomography (38 citations)
  • Cortical progenitor biology: key features mediating proliferation versus differentiation (32 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Mutation

Her primary scientific interests are in Progenitor cell, Cell cycle, Cell biology, Cerebral cortex and Microtubule end. Her Progenitor cell study frequently draws connections to other fields, such as Cell growth. Many of her research projects under Cell biology are closely connected to PAX6 with PAX6, tying the diverse disciplines of science together.

Her Cerebral cortex study improves the overall literature in Neuroscience. Microtubule end is connected with Neurogenesis, Pachygyria, Microcephaly, Ciliogenesis and Interneuron migration in her study.
