Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genetics

Zebrafish, Cell biology, Haematopoiesis, Stem cell and Molecular biology are his primary areas of study. Zebrafish is a subfield of Genetics that Leonard I. Zon explores. He interconnects Embryonic stem cell and Cellular differentiation in the investigation of issues within Cell biology.

The concepts of his Haematopoiesis study are interwoven with issues in Progenitor cell, Regulator and Transcription factor. His study in Stem cell is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Beta-catenin, Wnt signaling pathway, Immunology and Adult stem cell. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Gene expression, Morpholino, Myeloid, Regulation of gene expression and Erythroid-Specific DNA-Binding Factors.

His most cited work include:

  • The zebrafish reference genome sequence and its relationship to the human genome. (2167 citations)
  • Hematopoiesis: an evolving paradigm for stem cell biology. (1723 citations)
  • Hematopoiesis: an evolving paradigm for stem cell biology. (1723 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Zebrafish, Cell biology, Haematopoiesis, Stem cell and Genetics. His Zebrafish study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Molecular biology, Cancer research, Computational biology and Mutant. Leonard I. Zon combines subjects such as Gene expression and Gene knockdown with his study of Molecular biology.

The various areas that Leonard I. Zon examines in his Cell biology study include Embryonic stem cell, Mesoderm, Transcription factor and Cellular differentiation. Leonard I. Zon has researched Haematopoiesis in several fields, including Progenitor cell and Myeloid, Immunology. His Stem cell research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Endothelial stem cell, Adult stem cell, Transplantation, Bone marrow and In vivo.
