Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study Gerd P. Pfeifer is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

Gerd P. Pfeifer connects Gene with Cancer epigenetics in his study. His Pyrimidine dimer research extends to the thematically linked field of Genetics. In his work, Gerd P. Pfeifer performs multidisciplinary research in DNA methylation and Methylated DNA immunoprecipitation. His work often combines Methylated DNA immunoprecipitation and Differentially methylated regions studies. His Differentially methylated regions study frequently draws parallels with other fields, such as Gene expression. Gerd P. Pfeifer combines Gene expression and Molecular biology in his research. In his work, he performs multidisciplinary research in Molecular biology and Biochemistry. His DNA methylation research extends to the thematically linked field of Biochemistry. Gerd P. Pfeifer performs multidisciplinary study in the fields of DNA and DNA damage via his papers.

His most cited work include:

  • Preferential Formation of Benzo[ a ]pyrene Adducts at Lung Cancer Mutational Hotspots in P53 (1562 citations)
  • Epigenetic inactivation of a RAS association domain family protein from the lung tumour suppressor locus 3p21.3 (995 citations)
  • The role of Tet3 DNA dioxygenase in epigenetic reprogramming by oocytes (931 citations)

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

In recent works Gerd P. Pfeifer was focusing on the following fields of study:

In his study, Gerd P. Pfeifer carries out multidisciplinary Gene and Computational biology research. His work blends Computational biology and Biochemistry studies together. His research brings together the fields of 5-Methylcytosine and Biochemistry. His study on Genetics is mostly dedicated to connecting different topics, such as Chromatin. His work often combines Chromatin and Epigenetics studies. In his works, he undertakes multidisciplinary study on Epigenetics and Promoter. In his study, he carries out multidisciplinary Promoter and Gene expression research. Gene expression connects with themes related to 5-Methylcytosine in his study. He integrates DNA with Cytosine in his research.

Between 2015 and 2022, his most popular works were:

  • Defining Driver DNA Methylation Changes in Human Cancer (199 citations)
  • SomaticTP53Mutations in the Era of Genome Sequencing (145 citations)
  • An Intrinsic Epigenetic Barrier for Functional Axon Regeneration (110 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Epigenetics
  • Cancer

KRAS and Frameshift mutation are inherently bound to his Mutation studies. His KRAS study frequently links to other fields, such as Mutation. Genetics is frequently linked to Gene isoform in his study. His work on Genetics expands to the thematically related Gene isoform. Gene is closely attributed to Microdissection in his research. His research ties Gene and Microdissection together. In his research, Gerd P. Pfeifer performs multidisciplinary study on Epigenetics and Methylation. He integrates many fields, such as Methylation and Bisulfite sequencing, in his works. He incorporates Bisulfite sequencing and Differentially methylated regions in his studies.
