The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Sonic hedgehog, Cell biology, Neural tube, Neural tube patterning and Neuroscience. His Sonic hedgehog study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Progenitor cell, Morphogen and Nervous system. His Morphogen research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Cellular differentiation, Pattern formation and Gene regulatory network.

Cell biology and PAX6 are commonly linked in his work. His studies in Neural tube integrate themes in fields like Hedgehog signaling pathway, Transcription factor, Floor plate and Anatomy. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Homeobox, Embryonic stem cell, Vertebrate, Regulation of gene expression and Neural stem cell.

His most cited work include:

  • A homeodomain protein code specifying progenitor cell identity and neuronal fate in the ventral neural tube (1047 citations)
  • The mechanisms of Hedgehog signalling and its roles in development and disease. (990 citations)
  • Pax6 Controls Progenitor Cell Identity and Neuronal Fate in Response to Graded Shh Signaling (884 citations)

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