2007 - 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:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Gene expression

His main research concerns Cell biology, Endoderm, Chromatin, Transcription factor and Genetics. Kenneth S. Zaret interconnects Immunology, Endocrinology, Internal medicine and Cellular differentiation in the investigation of issues within Cell biology. As part of the same scientific family, he usually focuses on Cellular differentiation, concentrating on Regulation of gene expression and intersecting with Pathogenesis and Embryonic Tissue.

His Endoderm study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Organogenesis, Cell type, Embryogenesis and Mesoderm. His Chromatin research integrates issues from Enhancer and Molecular biology. Within one scientific family, Kenneth S. Zaret focuses on topics pertaining to Enhancer RNAs under Molecular biology, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Histone-modifying enzymes, ChIP-sequencing and Footprinting.

His most cited work include:

  • Pioneer transcription factors: establishing competence for gene expression (1084 citations)
  • Opening of Compacted Chromatin by Early Developmental Transcription Factors HNF3 (FoxA) and GATA-4 (868 citations)
  • Liver organogenesis promoted by endothelial cells prior to vascular function. (725 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Cell biology, Chromatin, Transcription factor, Molecular biology and Genetics. His Cell biology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Embryonic stem cell, Endoderm, Cellular differentiation, Endocrinology and Internal medicine. His work in Endoderm addresses issues such as Mesoderm, which are connected to fields such as NODAL.

His research integrates issues of Reprogramming and Histone in his study of Chromatin. His study in Transcription factor is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Promoter and Regulation of gene expression. His Molecular biology study deals with Transcription intersecting with Mitosis.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Cell biology (54.45%)
  • Chromatin (34.03%)
  • Transcription factor (34.55%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Cell biology (54.45%)
  • Chromatin (34.03%)
  • Transcription factor (34.55%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Cell biology, Chromatin, Transcription factor, Reprogramming and Gene. The Cell biology study combines topics in areas such as Embryonic stem cell, Transcriptome, Gene expression, DNA methylation and Transcription. Kenneth S. Zaret combines subjects such as Cell, Histone and Cellular differentiation with his study of Chromatin.

His research on Transcription factor also deals with topics like

  • Nucleosome which connect with Gene regulatory network,
  • Epigenetics which is related to area like Enhancer. In Reprogramming, Kenneth S. Zaret works on issues like Induced pluripotent stem cell, which are connected to SOX2 and Genetic model. His studies deal with areas such as Molecular biology and Interphase as well as Mitosis.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Mitotic transcription and waves of gene reactivation during mitotic exit (102 citations)
  • Detection of early pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma with thrombospondin-2 and CA19-9 blood markers. (95 citations)
  • Genomic and Proteomic Resolution of Heterochromatin and Its Restriction of Alternate Fate Genes. (79 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Gene expression

His primary areas of study are Cell biology, Chromatin, Transcription factor, Histone and Heterochromatin. He interconnects Reprogramming, Genome and Transcription in the investigation of issues within Cell biology. His studies examine the connections between Reprogramming and genetics, as well as such issues in Pioneer factor, with regards to Cell fate determination, Chromatin binding and Gene regulatory network.

His research in Transcription focuses on subjects like Interphase, which are connected to Premature chromosome condensation, Cell division, Polo-like kinase and Molecular biology. His Chromatin research includes themes of Gene expression and Cellular differentiation. His research on Transcription factor frequently connects to adjacent areas such as Nucleosome.
