Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genetics

Her main research concerns Cell biology, Genetics, Potassium channel, Biophysics and Anatomy. Her studies deal with areas such as Molecular biology, Cell division and Cell polarity as well as Cell biology. The study incorporates disciplines such as Peptide sequence, Patch clamp, Inward-rectifier potassium ion channel and G protein-coupled inwardly-rectifying potassium channel in addition to Potassium channel.

The concepts of her Biophysics study are interwoven with issues in Amino acid, Biochemistry, Neurotransmission, KCNJ5 and Neuromuscular junction. Her work carried out in the field of Anatomy brings together such families of science as Glutamate receptor, NMDA receptor, Sensory system and Dendritic spine. Her Dendrite research also works with subjects such as

  • Morphogenesis, which have a strong connection to Neuroscience,
  • Nervous system that intertwine with fields like Axon.

Her most cited work include:

  • Interactions between heterologous helix-loop-helix proteins generate complexes that bind specifically to a common DNA sequence. (1558 citations)
  • Synaptic vesicle exocytosis captured by quick freezing and correlated with quantal transmitter release. (1227 citations)
  • Changing subunit composition of heteromeric NMDA receptors during development of rat cortex (1164 citations)

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

Lily Yeh Jan mainly investigates Cell biology, Biophysics, Potassium channel, Genetics and Neuroscience. Her Cell biology study combines topics in areas such as Cell division, Drosophila Protein and Anatomy. Her Biophysics research includes themes of Biochemistry and Ligand-gated ion channel, Ion channel.

Her work in the fields of Potassium channel, such as Voltage-gated potassium channel, intersects with other areas such as Shaker. Her research related to Gene, Drosophilidae, Drosophila melanogaster, Mutant and Transcription factor might be considered part of Genetics. All of her Neuroscience and Neuron, Nervous system, Sensory neuron and Axon investigations are sub-components of the entire Neuroscience study.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Cell biology (48.53%)
  • Biophysics (21.61%)
  • Potassium channel (19.25%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Cell biology (48.53%)
  • Biophysics (21.61%)
  • Neuroscience (17.68%)

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

Lily Yeh Jan mostly deals with Cell biology, Biophysics, Neuroscience, Chloride channel and Ion channel. Her Cell biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Cell, Cell cycle and Potassium channel. Her work in the fields of Biophysics, such as Cryo-electron microscopy, overlaps with other areas such as Phospholipid scramblase.

Her Neuroscience study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Mechanosensitive channels and Regeneration. In her research, Nervous system is intimately related to Axon, which falls under the overarching field of Regeneration. Her Chloride channel research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Biomarker, Airway and Transmembrane domain.

Between 2013 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Targeting potassium channels in cancer (197 citations)
  • Cryo-EM structures of the TMEM16A calcium-activated chloride channel. (169 citations)
  • Cardiac BIN1 folds T-tubule membrane, controlling ion flux and limiting arrhythmia. (157 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genetics

Her primary areas of study are Cell biology, Biophysics, Ion channel, Calcium and Biochemistry. Lily Yeh Jan has included themes like Cytoskeleton, Drosophila Protein and Potassium channel in her Cell biology study. Her Biophysics research incorporates themes from HEK 293 cells and Calcium in biology.

Her Ion channel research integrates issues from Membrane, Neuroscience and Cryo-electron microscopy. Many of her research projects under Neuroscience are closely connected to Poison control with Poison control, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. Her Calcium research focuses on Chloride channel and how it relates to Transmembrane domain.
