Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Amino acid

His primary areas of study are Cell biology, Dictyostelium discoideum, Actin, Arp2/3 complex and Microfilament. His work deals with themes such as Cell adhesion and Actin cytoskeleton, Cytoskeleton, which intersect with Cell biology. His studies deal with areas such as Molecular biology and Cleavage furrow as well as Actin cytoskeleton.

His Dictyostelium discoideum study is concerned with the larger field of Biochemistry. His Actin study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Membrane, Cytokinesis and Cytoplasm. His study in Arp2/3 complex is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Lamellipodium and Motility.

His most cited work include:

  • Macromolecular Architecture in Eukaryotic Cells Visualized by Cryoelectron Tomography (694 citations)
  • Discrete interactions in cell adhesion measured by single-molecule force spectroscopy. (481 citations)
  • Nuclear Pore Complex Structure and Dynamics Revealed by Cryoelectron Tomography (424 citations)

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

His main research concerns Cell biology, Dictyostelium discoideum, Actin, Biochemistry and Dictyostelium. His Cell biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Cytokinesis, Cytoskeleton, Microfilament, Chemotaxis and Arp2/3 complex. His Arp2/3 complex research includes themes of Actin-binding protein, Actin remodeling, Filamentous actin, Cryo-electron tomography and Lamellipodium.

His Dictyostelium discoideum study also includes fields such as

  • Cell aggregation which is related to area like Receptor,
  • Cell adhesion that intertwine with fields like Antigen. His work carried out in the field of Actin brings together such families of science as Myosin, Cell division, Actin cytoskeleton, Cell cortex and Cell polarity. Günther Gerisch focuses mostly in the field of Dictyostelium, narrowing it down to topics relating to Biophysics and, in certain cases, Membrane.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Cell biology (57.69%)
  • Dictyostelium discoideum (35.38%)
  • Actin (32.31%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2006-2020)?

  • Cell biology (57.69%)
  • Actin (32.31%)
  • Arp2/3 complex (18.46%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Cell biology, Actin, Arp2/3 complex, Actin cytoskeleton and Actin remodeling. His Cell biology research incorporates elements of Dictyostelium discoideum, Cell fusion and Filamentous actin. His work is dedicated to discovering how Dictyostelium discoideum, Chemotaxis are connected with Signal transduction and Confocal microscopy and other disciplines.

Günther Gerisch has included themes like Biophysics, Myosin, Cell polarity, Cell cortex and Dictyostelium in his Actin study. His work focuses on many connections between Arp2/3 complex and other disciplines, such as Cryo-electron tomography, that overlap with his field of interest in Nuclear magnetic resonance, Phase contrast microscopy and Electron microscope. His Actin remodeling research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Lamellipodium, Actin remodeling of neurons and Coronin.

Between 2006 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • The Three-Dimensional Dynamics of Actin Waves, a Model of Cytoskeletal Self-Organization (154 citations)
  • Organization of actin networks in intact filopodia (132 citations)
  • Actin and PIP3 waves in giant cells reveal the inherent length scale of an excited state (59 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Amino acid

His scientific interests lie mostly in Actin, Cell biology, Cell polarity, Front and Arp2/3 complex. Günther Gerisch interconnects Phagocytosis, Fluorescence recovery after photobleaching, Coronin, Organelle Shape and Myosin in the investigation of issues within Actin. His Myosin research integrates issues from Phagocyte, Immune system, Actin cytoskeleton and Nanotechnology.

His Cell biology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Vesicle, Cytoskeleton and Transmembrane protein. His research in Cell polarity intersects with topics in Wave propagation, Giant cell, Cell membrane and Total internal reflection fluorescence microscope. His Arp2/3 complex study incorporates themes from Lamellipodium, Actin remodeling and Actin remodeling of neurons.
