Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Neuron
  • Enzyme

Anatomy, Cell biology, Neuroscience, Axon guidance and Netrin are his primary areas of study. The various areas that Marc Tessier-Lavigne examines in his Anatomy study include Floor plate and Slit. Marc Tessier-Lavigne has researched Cell biology in several fields, including Receptor, Genetics and Morphogenesis.

His Neuroscience study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Semaphorin and Neurite. His Axon guidance research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Blood vessel, Retinal ganglion cell, Optic nerve, Transmembrane protein and Morphogen. He combines subjects such as Growth cone, Chemorepulsion, Axonal growth cone and Phenotype with his study of Netrin.

His most cited work include:

  • The Molecular Biology of Axon Guidance (2886 citations)
  • The netrins define a family of axon outgrowth-promoting proteins homologous to C. elegans UNC-6 (1150 citations)
  • Netrins are diffusible chemotropic factors for commissural axons in the embryonic spinal cord. (1144 citations)

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

Marc Tessier-Lavigne mainly focuses on Neuroscience, Cell biology, Axon guidance, Netrin and Anatomy. His Neuroscience research focuses on subjects like Semaphorin, which are linked to Neuropilins, Neuropilin and Neuropilin 1. His study in Cell biology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Receptor, Neurodegeneration and Immunology.

His work in Axon guidance covers topics such as Slit which are related to areas like SLIT1, Slit-Robo, ROBO1 and SLIT2. His studies in Netrin integrate themes in fields like Embryonic stem cell, Pioneer axon and Chemotaxis. His work in Anatomy addresses subjects such as Floor plate, which are connected to disciplines such as Neural tube and Sonic hedgehog.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (56.83%)
  • Cell biology (49.45%)
  • Axon guidance (37.70%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Neuroscience (56.83%)
  • Cell biology (49.45%)
  • Axon (24.32%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Neuroscience, Cell biology, Axon, Axon guidance and Neurodegeneration. His research on Neuroscience frequently links to adjacent areas such as Sonic hedgehog. His biological study focuses on Actin.

The Axon study combines topics in areas such as Biological neural network and Cytoskeleton. The various areas that Marc Tessier-Lavigne examines in his Axon guidance study include Neuron, Alternative splicing and Spinal cord. Marc Tessier-Lavigne interconnects Hindbrain, Haptotaxis, Neural tube, Nerve root and Floor plate in the investigation of issues within Netrin.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Efficient introduction of specific homozygous and heterozygous mutations using CRISPR/Cas9 (468 citations)
  • Mapping of Brain Activity by Automated Volume Analysis of Immediate Early Genes (334 citations)
  • CRISPR–Cas9 screens in human cells and primary neurons identify modifiers of C9ORF72 dipeptide-repeat-protein toxicity (93 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Neuron
  • Enzyme

His main research concerns Neuroscience, Cell biology, Phenotype, Induced pluripotent stem cell and Immunolabeling. His Neuroscience study focuses on Oligodendrocyte in particular. His research integrates issues of Cerebral cortex, Neocortex and PAX6 in his study of Cell biology.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Biogenesis, Amyloid beta, Mutant, Amyloid precursor protein and Presenilin. His Immunolabeling research incorporates themes from Adipose tissue, PRDM16, Neurite and Cell type. His Cell research includes elements of Anatomy, Central nervous system, Sensory system and PTEN.
