1986 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Amino acid

His primary scientific interests are in Biochemistry, Manduca sexta, Cuticle, Red flour beetle and Botany. His research on Biochemistry often connects related areas such as Insect. His Manduca sexta research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Complementary DNA, Hormone, Hemolymph and Chitinase.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Covalent bond, Tyrosinase, Laccase and Cuticle pigmentation in addition to Cuticle. The Red flour beetle study combines topics in areas such as RNA interference, Chitin synthase and Midgut. His Botany research incorporates elements of Genetics and Phylogenetics.

His most cited work include:

  • The genome of the model beetle and pest Tribolium castaneum. (1039 citations)
  • Insect Cuticle Sclerotization (346 citations)
  • Insect chitinases: molecular biology and potential use as biopesticides. (322 citations)

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

Karl J. Kramer mainly investigates Biochemistry, Manduca sexta, Cuticle, Botany and Insect. As a member of one scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Biochemistry, focusing on Molecular biology and, on occasion, Complementary DNA. His research in Manduca sexta intersects with topics in Tyrosine, Endocrinology and Integument.

His research on Cuticle focuses in particular on Arthropod cuticle. The various areas that he examines in his Botany study include RNA interference, Gene and Cell biology. His Insect research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Drosophila melanogaster, Chitin synthase and Larva.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Biochemistry (87.53%)
  • Manduca sexta (51.25%)
  • Cuticle (47.65%)

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

  • Cuticle (47.65%)
  • Botany (37.12%)
  • Insect (24.38%)

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

Karl J. Kramer spends much of his time researching Cuticle, Botany, Insect, Arthropod cuticle and Biochemistry. His Cuticle research includes elements of Zoology, Mealworm, Biophysics and Group. His Botany research incorporates elements of RNA interference, Gene, Chitinase and Cell biology.

Karl J. Kramer has researched Insect in several fields, including Extracellular, Drosophila melanogaster, Hydrolysis, Glycoside hydrolase and Moulting. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Ultrastructure, Tyrosine, Arthropod, Red flour beetle and Tyrosine hydroxylase. He incorporates Biochemistry and Functional importance in his studies.

Between 2010 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Chitin Metabolism in Insects (165 citations)
  • Knickkopf protein protects and organizes chitin in the newly synthesized insect exoskeleton (83 citations)
  • Knickkopf protein protects and organizes chitin in the newly synthesized insect exoskeleton (83 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Amino acid

Karl J. Kramer mostly deals with Insect, Botany, Cuticle, Red flour beetle and Arthropod cuticle. The concepts of his Insect study are interwoven with issues in Genetics, Drosophila melanogaster, Chitinase, Phylogenetics and Gene. His Botany study combines topics in areas such as Cell biology, RNA interference and Biochemistry, Polysaccharide.

Karl J. Kramer performs multidisciplinary study in Biochemistry and Crizotinib in his work. His Cuticle study which covers Moulting that intersects with Instar. While the research belongs to areas of Arthropod cuticle, Karl J. Kramer spends his time largely on the problem of Anatomy, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Peptide sequence, Zoology and Pupa.
