1967 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Gene
  • Enzyme

His primary scientific interests are in Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Insulin, Islet and Diabetes mellitus. The Internal medicine study combines topics in areas such as Gene expression and Streptozotocin. All of his Endocrinology and Glucagon, Beta cell, Pancreas, Somatostatin and Type 2 diabetes investigations are sub-components of the entire Endocrinology study.

His research integrates issues of Receptor, In vitro and Arginine in his study of Insulin. His work deals with themes such as Glucose tolerance test, Pancreatic hormone, Transplantation and Endocrine system, which intersect with Islet. His studies in Diabetes mellitus integrate themes in fields like Inflammation, Exocytosis, Glucose transporter and Surgery.

His most cited work include:

  • Induced pluripotent stem cells generated without viral integration (1553 citations)
  • Induced pluripotent stem cells generated without viral integration (1553 citations)
  • In vitro cultivation of human islets from expanded ductal tissue (981 citations)

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

Gordon C. Weir spends much of his time researching Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Islet, Insulin and Diabetes mellitus. His Internal medicine research focuses on Pancreas, Beta cell, Insulin resistance, Insulin oscillation and Glucagon secretion. His Glucagon, Somatostatin, Streptozotocin, Pancreatic islets and Secretion study are his primary interests in Endocrinology.

His work carried out in the field of Islet brings together such families of science as Cell culture, Immunology, Immune system, Cell biology and Transplantation. His Transplantation research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Immunosuppression and Ratón. His Insulin research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Hormone and Arginine.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Internal medicine (78.61%)
  • Endocrinology (74.88%)
  • Islet (46.52%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2020)?

  • Internal medicine (78.61%)
  • Endocrinology (74.88%)
  • Islet (46.52%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Islet, Insulin and Diabetes mellitus. His Internal medicine study incorporates themes from Type 1 diabetes and Type 2 diabetes. His Endocrinology study frequently draws connections to adjacent fields such as Cell biology.

His research in Islet intersects with topics in Oxygen supply, Peritoneal cavity, Transplantation and Pathology. The various areas that Gordon C. Weir examines in his Insulin study include Receptor, Unfolded protein response, Genetically modified mouse and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. In Diabetes mellitus, Gordon C. Weir works on issues like Cell, which are connected to Bioinformatics.

Between 2010 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Size- and shape-dependent foreign body immune response to materials implanted in rodents and non-human primates (404 citations)
  • Long-term glycemic control using polymer-encapsulated human stem cell-derived beta cells in immune-competent mice (348 citations)
  • β-Cell Failure in Type 2 Diabetes: Postulated Mechanisms and Prospects for Prevention and Treatment (264 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Internal medicine
  • Enzyme

Gordon C. Weir focuses on Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Diabetes mellitus, Islet and Transplantation. His Internal medicine research incorporates elements of Type 2 diabetes and Oncology. Gordon C. Weir works on Endocrinology which deals in particular with Insulin.

His study in Diabetes mellitus is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Cell, Pancreas and Intensive care medicine. His studies deal with areas such as Pharmacology, Peritoneal cavity, Immune system and Cell biology as well as Islet. His Transplantation study also includes

  • Immunology which is related to area like Embryonic stem cell, Cell therapy, Hyperplasia and Endocrine system,
  • Type 1 diabetes which intersects with area such as Neogenesis and Insulin oscillation.
