The fields of study he is best known for:
His main research concerns Cryptococcus neoformans, Microbiology, Virulence, Genetics and Biochemistry.
The various areas that Joseph Heitman examines in his Cryptococcus neoformans study include Pathogen, Serotype, Pathogenic fungus, Cryptococcosis and Fungal protein.
His studies deal with areas such as Ustilago and Calcineurin as well as Microbiology.
Joseph Heitman combines subjects such as FKBP, Antifungal drug, Cyclosporin a and Pharmacology with his study of Calcineurin.
His work on Saccharomyces cerevisiae, G protein-coupled receptor, Heterotrimeric G protein and Protein subunit as part of general Biochemistry research is frequently linked to Pseudohyphal growth, bridging the gap between disciplines.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Signal transduction, Cell biology and Mutant in addition to Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
His most cited work include:
- Targets for cell cycle arrest by the immunosuppressant rapamycin in yeast. (1532 citations)
- The paleozoic origin of enzymatic lignin decomposition reconstructed from 31 fungal genomes (1059 citations)
- Evolution of pathogenicity and sexual reproduction in eight Candida genomes (781 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Joseph Heitman mostly deals with Genetics, Cryptococcus neoformans, Microbiology, Gene and Virulence.
His Genetics and Mating type, Sexual reproduction, Locus, Fungal genetics and Genome investigations all form part of his Genetics research activities.
His study in Cryptococcus neoformans is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Cryptococcus, Mutant, Cryptococcosis and Mating.
His Mutant study combines topics in areas such as Mutation, Molecular biology and Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
His Microbiology research incorporates themes from Fungal protein and Calcineurin.
