Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Cancer
  • DNA

His primary areas of investigation include Cell biology, Stem cell, Wnt signaling pathway, Cellular differentiation and Immunology. His Cell biology research focuses on subjects like Crypt, which are linked to Paneth cell. His Stem cell study combines topics in areas such as Organoid and Adult stem cell.

His work in Wnt signaling pathway is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses Cancer research. His research investigates the connection between Cellular differentiation and topics such as Single-cell analysis that intersect with problems in Transcriptome. Within one scientific family, Hans Clevers focuses on topics pertaining to Adenomatous polyposis coli under Beta-catenin, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Tumor suppressor gene.

His most cited work include:

  • Wnt/beta-catenin signaling in development and disease. (4369 citations)
  • Identification of stem cells in small intestine and colon by marker gene Lgr5 (3702 citations)
  • Activation of beta-catenin-Tcf signaling in colon cancer by mutations in beta-catenin or APC. (3440 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Cell biology, Stem cell, Organoid, Wnt signaling pathway and Cancer research. His studies deal with areas such as Immunology, Intestinal epithelium, Cellular differentiation and Genetics as well as Cell biology. His studies in Stem cell integrate themes in fields like Endothelial stem cell and Adult stem cell.

The Organoid study combines topics in areas such as Epithelium, Pathology, CRISPR, Internal medicine and Personalized medicine. Hans Clevers studied Wnt signaling pathway and Molecular biology that intersect with Gene, Gene expression and Enhancer. The concepts of his Cancer research study are interwoven with issues in Carcinogenesis, Cancer and Colorectal cancer.
