Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genetics

His scientific interests lie mostly in Receptor, Endocrinology, Internal medicine, Thyrotropin receptor and Molecular biology. His Receptor study deals with the bigger picture of Biochemistry. The various areas that he examines in his Endocrinology study include Germline mutation and Germline.

His Internal medicine study frequently links to other fields, such as Autoantibody. His work carried out in the field of Thyrotropin receptor brings together such families of science as Adenoma and Gene, Transmembrane domain, Somatic cell. His studies deal with areas such as 5-HT5A receptor, Transfection, Complementary DNA, Peptide sequence and Epitope as well as Molecular biology.

His most cited work include:

  • Resistance to HIV-1 infection in caucasian individuals bearing mutant alleles of the CCR-5 chemokine receptor gene. (2552 citations)
  • Isolation and structure of the endogenous agonist of opioid receptor-like ORL1 receptor. (1734 citations)
  • Unresponsiveness to Cannabinoids and Reduced Addictive Effects of Opiates in CB1 Receptor Knockout Mice (1197 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Molecular biology, Receptor and Thyroglobulin. His Internal medicine study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Mutation and Antibody. Gilbert Vassart interconnects Autoantibody and Germline mutation in the investigation of issues within Endocrinology.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Complementary DNA, Molecular cloning, Gene expression, Gene and DNA in addition to Molecular biology. His Receptor research integrates issues from Mutant and Cell biology. His Thyroglobulin research incorporates elements of Messenger RNA, Polysome and Transcription factor.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Internal medicine (33.27%)
  • Endocrinology (33.27%)
  • Molecular biology (32.55%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2003-2020)?

  • Endocrinology (33.27%)
  • Internal medicine (33.27%)
  • Receptor (29.09%)

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

His main research concerns Endocrinology, Internal medicine, Receptor, Cell biology and Biochemistry. His study focuses on the intersection of Endocrinology and fields such as Context with connections in the field of Euthyroid and Gene mutation. He works mostly in the field of Internal medicine, limiting it down to topics relating to Germline mutation and, in certain cases, Germline.

His study in Receptor is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Thyrotropin receptor, Hormone and Molecular biology. In his work, Blocking antibody and Anti-thyroid autoantibodies is strongly intertwined with Epitope, which is a subfield of Molecular biology. His Cell biology research includes themes of Ex vivo and Transcription factor.

Between 2003 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • A molecular dissection of the glycoprotein hormone receptors. (288 citations)
  • Non-peptide arginine-vasopressin antagonists: the vaptans (279 citations)
  • Glycoprotein hormone receptors: link between receptor homodimerization and negative cooperativity. (241 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genetics

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Receptor, Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Cell biology and G protein-coupled receptor. His Receptor study is concerned with the field of Biochemistry as a whole. His Internal medicine research focuses on Context and how it relates to Primary hypothyroidism, Birth weight, Pulmonary hypertension, Respiratory failure and Lung.

His work in the fields of Thyroid overlaps with other areas such as Skewed X-inactivation. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Cell cycle checkpoint, Apoptosis and Orphan receptor. Within one scientific family, Gilbert Vassart focuses on topics pertaining to Gene trapping under Orphan receptor, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Molecular biology.
