  • 1995 - Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences

Overview

Gordon N. Gill is affiliated with the University of California, San Diego in the United States. Their research spans multiple disciplines within the Social Sciences, with a focus on topics related to colonialism, slavery, and trade, as well as Caribbean history, culture, and politics. The scientist's work also intersects with studies of the Hippo pathway signaling and YAP/TAZ, linking biological pathways with broader cultural and historical analyses.

Their published papers cover a range of subjects and appear in diverse venues. These include:

  • 'Src-dependent Phosphorylation of the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor on Tyrosine 845 Is Required for Zinc-induced Ras Activation' (2021, UNC Libraries)
  • 'M-Motif, a potential non-conventional NLS in YAP/TAZ and other cellular and viral proteins that inhibits classic protein import' (2025, iScience)
  • 'Enslavement, Emotions and Oppositional Insolence in the Slave Society of British Guiana' (2024, Slavery and Abolition)

Their research collaborations include work with several frequent coauthors:

  • Michael Kofler
  • Shruthi Venugopal
  • Caterina Di Ciano-Oliveira
  • András Kapùs
  • Weidong Wu
