Overview

Herbert Zimmermann is affiliated with Goethe University Frankfurt in Germany. Their research primarily focuses on biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology, with significant contributions to the fields of physiology, molecular biology, epidemiology, pediatrics, and speech and hearing. Zimmermann's work extensively covers topics related to adenosine and purinergic signaling, neonatal health and biochemistry, adolescent and pediatric healthcare, calcium signaling and nucleotide metabolism, neuroscience of respiration and sleep, inflammasome and immune disorders, and macrophage migration inhibitory factor.

Zimmermann has published multiple papers in notable scientific venues. Recent publications include:

  • History of ectonucleotidases and their role in purinergic signaling, 2020, Biochemical Pharmacology
  • Ectonucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolases and ecto-5'-nucleotidase in purinergic signaling: how the field developed and where we are now, 2020, Purinergic Signalling
  • 2-Substituted α,β-Methylene-ADP Derivatives: Potent Competitive Ecto-5'-nucleotidase (CD73) Inhibitors with Variable Binding Modes, 2020, Journal of Medicinal Chemistry
  • In Memoriam Geoffrey Burnstock: Creator of Purinergic Signaling, 2020, Function
  • Fluorescent Probes for Ecto-5'-nucleotidase (CD73), 2020, ACS Medicinal Chemistry Letters

The researcher frequently collaborates with several co-authors, including Christa E. Müller, Christian Renn, Riham M. Idris, Norbert Sträter, and Maria P. Abbracchio. Their body of work is often published in journals such as Purinergic Signalling, Biochemical Pharmacology, Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, Function, and ACS Medicinal Chemistry Letters.

Herbert Zimmermann is a member of Academia Europaea since 2009.
