2012 - 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
  • Enzyme
  • Internal medicine

His main research concerns Biochemistry, Neurotoxicity, Glutamate receptor, Neuroscience and Astrocyte. His research in Biochemistry intersects with topics in Internal medicine and Endocrinology. His biological study focuses on Manganism.

His work carried out in the field of Glutamate receptor brings together such families of science as Amino acid and NMDA receptor. The Neuroscience study combines topics in areas such as Neuropathology, Parkinson's disease and Microglia. His Astrocyte study also includes

  • Neuroglia that connect with fields like Amino acid transporter,
  • Extracellular together with Gene mutation.

His most cited work include:

  • Caenorhabditis elegans: an emerging model in biomedical and environmental toxicology. (626 citations)
  • Manganese: Recent advances in understanding its transport and neurotoxicity (459 citations)
  • Nutritional aspects of manganese homeostasis. (453 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Neurotoxicity, Biochemistry, Oxidative stress, Internal medicine and Endocrinology. His Neurotoxicity research incorporates elements of Glutamate receptor, Neuroscience and Pharmacology. Biochemistry is closely attributed to Astrocyte in his research.

His work is dedicated to discovering how Oxidative stress, Neurodegeneration are connected with Dopaminergic and other disciplines. His Endocrinology research focuses on Manganese and how it relates to Biophysics. As a part of the same scientific study, Michael Aschner usually deals with the Toxicity, concentrating on Methylmercury and frequently concerns with Environmental chemistry.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neurotoxicity (37.44%)
  • Biochemistry (29.11%)
  • Oxidative stress (19.93%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Neurotoxicity (37.44%)
  • Oxidative stress (19.93%)
  • Toxicity (16.91%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Neurotoxicity, Oxidative stress, Toxicity, Pharmacology and Cell biology. Neurotoxicity is a primary field of his research addressed under Internal medicine. His study in Toxicity is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Methylmercury, Glutathione, Antioxidant and In vivo.

Michael Aschner combines subjects such as Viability assay, Reactive oxygen species and Inflammation, Neuroinflammation with his study of Pharmacology. His research integrates issues of Wild type, Manganism, Caenorhabditis elegans and Neurodegeneration in his study of Cell biology. His study on Caenorhabditis elegans is covered under Biochemistry.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • A new threat from an old enemy: Re­emergence of coronavirus (Review). (83 citations)
  • The role of astrocytic glutamate transporters GLT-1 and GLAST in neurological disorders: Potential targets for neurotherapeutics (53 citations)
  • Hormetic Neurobehavioral effects of low dose toxic chemical mixtures in real-life risk simulation (RLRS) in rats. (53 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Internal medicine

Michael Aschner focuses on Neurotoxicity, Oxidative stress, Toxicity, Glutathione and Pharmacology. His Neurotoxicity study combines topics in areas such as Manganese, Central nervous system, Cell biology, Hippocampus and Nicotine. Michael Aschner has researched Oxidative stress in several fields, including Environmental chemistry, Redox and Paraquat.

His research investigates the connection with Pharmacology and areas like Antioxidant which intersect with concerns in Cell. His Thiol study is focused on Biochemistry in general. Endocrinology and Internal medicine are commonly linked in his work.
