Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • DNA

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Cell biology, Biochemistry, Kinase activity, Molecular biology and Signal transduction. His research is interdisciplinary, bridging the disciplines of NODAL and Cell biology. His study in the field of Amino acid and Cellular differentiation also crosses realms of PLCB2.

Malcolm Whitman combines subjects such as Tyrosine kinase and Platelet-derived growth factor receptor with his study of Kinase activity. His Molecular biology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Blastula, Xbra, Notochord, Activin type 2 receptors and Phosphatidylinositol. His Signal transduction research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in In vivo, Autoimmunity, Starvation response and Binding site.

His most cited work include:

  • Type I phosphatidylinositol kinase makes a novel inositol phospholipid, phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate. (834 citations)
  • Type I phosphatidylinositol kinase makes a novel inositol phospholipid, phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate. (834 citations)
  • A transcriptional partner for MAD proteins in TGF-beta signalling. (662 citations)

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

Malcolm Whitman mostly deals with Cell biology, Xenopus, Molecular biology, Transcription factor and Mesoderm. His Cell biology research includes themes of Genetics and NODAL. His Molecular biology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Rous sarcoma virus, Activin type 2 receptors, Phosphatidylinositol and Kinase activity.

His work carried out in the field of Phosphatidylinositol brings together such families of science as Cell growth and Second messenger system. In the field of Transcription factor, his study on Transcriptional regulation, Enhancer and DNA-binding protein overlaps with subjects such as Mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 2. His Mesoderm research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Gastrulation, Ectoderm, Endoderm and Fibroblast growth factor.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Cell biology (54.65%)
  • Xenopus (23.26%)
  • Molecular biology (19.77%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2021)?

  • Cell biology (54.65%)
  • Biochemistry (17.44%)
  • Halofuginone (8.14%)

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

His primary areas of study are Cell biology, Biochemistry, Halofuginone, Pharmacology and Amino acid. The concepts of his Cell biology study are interwoven with issues in Genetics, Tyrosine and Transcription factor. His studies deal with areas such as ROR1, Platelet-derived growth factor receptor, Receptor tyrosine kinase and Proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase Src as well as Tyrosine.

His Halofuginone research incorporates elements of Lung transplantation and Cellular differentiation. The study incorporates disciplines such as Angiogenesis, Transplant rejection, Kinase and Peptide in addition to Pharmacology. Many of his studies on Amino acid apply to Signal transduction as well.

Between 2011 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Halofuginone and other febrifugine derivatives inhibit prolyl-tRNA synthetase (203 citations)
  • A Secreted Tyrosine Kinase Acts in the Extracellular Environment (68 citations)
  • A mutation in TGFB3 associated with a syndrome of low muscle mass, growth retardation, distal arthrogryposis and clinical features overlapping with Marfan and Loeys-Dietz syndrome. (60 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • DNA

His main research concerns Febrifugine, Halofuginone, Genetics, Biochemistry and Cell biology. You can notice a mix of various disciplines of study, such as Amino acid, Plasmodium berghei, Drug resistance, Pharmacology and Plasmodium falciparum, in his Febrifugine studies. The Halofuginone study combines topics in areas such as Druggability and Malaria.

His research in Genetics intersects with topics in Nucleus and Dependent manner. His work in the fields of Cellular differentiation, Tyrosine and Protein tyrosine phosphatase overlaps with other areas such as Synthetase activity and Prolyl tRNA synthetase. The various areas that he examines in his Cell biology study include MRNA Decay and Platelet-derived growth factor receptor.
