Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

Gene
Genetics
Mutation

Cell biology, Netrin, Caenorhabditis elegans, Growth cone and Epidermis are his primary areas of study. His work on Pleckstrin homology domain and Actin as part of general Cell biology research is frequently linked to GTPase-activating protein and RhoG, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. In his study, Molecular biology is strongly linked to Pioneer axon, which falls under the umbrella field of Netrin.

Many of his studies on Growth cone involve topics that are commonly interrelated, such as Receptor. Joseph G. Culotti combines subjects such as Semaphorin, Plexin, Cell migration, Bridge and Signal transduction with his study of Epidermis. His Axon research includes themes of Extracellular, Nervous system, Immunoglobulin superfamily and Ectopic expression.

His most cited work include:

Deleted in Colorectal Cancer (DCC) Encodes a Netrin Receptor (896 citations)
The unc-5, unc-6, and unc-40 genes guide circumferential migrations of pioneer axons and mesodermal cells on the epidermis in C. elegans. (798 citations)
UNC-40, a C. elegans Homolog of DCC (Deleted in Colorectal Cancer), Is Required in Motile Cells Responding to UNC-6 Netrin Cues (447 citations)

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

Joseph G. Culotti mostly deals with Cell biology, Caenorhabditis elegans, Netrin, Mutant and Axon guidance. His Cell biology research is mostly focused on the topic Growth cone. His study looks at the intersection of Caenorhabditis elegans and topics like Mutation with Gene isoform.

His work deals with themes such as Pioneer axon, Signal transduction and Epidermis, which intersect with Netrin. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Caenorhabditis, Phenotype, Ephrin, Molecular biology and Phosphorylation. His Axon guidance study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Guanine nucleotide exchange factor and Cell polarity.

He most often published in these fields:

Cell biology (89.87%)
Caenorhabditis elegans (72.15%)
Netrin (53.16%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2020)?

Caenorhabditis elegans (72.15%)
Cell biology (89.87%)
Semaphorin (40.51%)

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

His main research concerns Caenorhabditis elegans, Cell biology, Semaphorin, Signal transduction and Cell migration. His Cell biology research focuses on Plexin and Netrin. His Plexin research incorporates themes from Growth cone, GTPase and Transgene.

Joseph G. Culotti performs integrative study on Netrin and Context. His studies in Signal transduction integrate themes in fields like Mutation, Bridge, Axon guidance, Morphogenesis and Epidermis. Joseph G. Culotti interconnects Molecular biology, Glycoprotein, Glycan, Gene and Null allele in the investigation of issues within Cell migration.

Between 2010 and 2020, his most popular works were:

Semaphorin and Eph receptor signaling guide a series of cell movements for ventral enclosure in C. elegans (246 citations)
Semaphorin and Eph receptor signaling guide a series of cell movements for ventral enclosure in C. elegans (246 citations)
C. elegans PVF-1 inhibits permissive UNC-40 signalling through CED-10 GTPase to position the male ray 1 sensillum (9 citations)
