Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Cancer
  • Genetics

His primary areas of investigation include Genetics, Immunology, Cloning, Stem cell and Cell biology. Many of his research projects under Genetics are closely connected to Health profile and Bos gaurus with Health profile and Bos gaurus, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. His Immunology research incorporates themes from KOSR and Amniotic epithelial cells.

His Cloning study incorporates themes from Cellular differentiation, Embryo and Somatic cell. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Retinal pigment epithelium, Embryonic stem cell, Epithelium and Gene expression profiling. His Cell biology study often links to related topics such as Cell culture.

His most cited work include:

  • Human embryonic stem cells derived without feeder cells (411 citations)
  • Extension of Cell Life-Span and Telomere Length in Animals Cloned from Senescent Somatic Cells (408 citations)
  • Shortened telomeres in the expanded Cd28-cd8+ cell subset in Hiv disease implicate replicative senescence in Hiv pathogenesis (400 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Cell biology, Stem cell, Embryonic stem cell, Internal medicine and Immunology. The Cell biology study combines topics in areas such as Cellular differentiation, Induced pluripotent stem cell, Transplantation and Somatic cell. His Somatic cell study is concerned with the field of Genetics as a whole.

His Stem cell research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Cell culture, Somatic cell nuclear transfer, Molecular biology and Adult stem cell. Michael D. West combines subjects such as Endocrinology and Serum enzymes with his study of Internal medicine. Michael D. West has researched Embryo in several fields, including Cloning and Primate.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Cell biology (40.45%)
  • Stem cell (28.09%)
  • Embryonic stem cell (19.10%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2005-2017)?

  • Cell biology (40.45%)
  • Induced pluripotent stem cell (13.48%)
  • Embryo (15.73%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Cell biology, Induced pluripotent stem cell, Embryo, Embryonic stem cell and Fetus. The various areas that he examines in his Cell biology study include Retinal, Major histocompatibility complex, Transplantation and Directed differentiation. Michael D. West interconnects Ex vivo, Immunology, Organoid, Retinal tissue and Stem cell in the investigation of issues within Induced pluripotent stem cell.

His work is dedicated to discovering how Embryo, Somatic cell are connected with Reprogramming and other disciplines. His Embryoid body study in the realm of Embryonic stem cell interacts with subjects such as Tenascin. He has researched Fetus in several fields, including Gene expression, Cellular differentiation and Degenerative disease.

Between 2005 and 2017, his most popular works were:

  • Methods to accelerate the isolation of novel cell strains from pluripotent stem cells and cells obtained thereby (90 citations)
  • Human Embryonic Stem Cells (63 citations)
  • Improved methods of reprogramming animal somatic cells (18 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Cancer
  • Genetics

Michael D. West focuses on Cell biology, Embryoid body, Embryonic stem cell, Embryo and Somatic cell. His Cell biology research includes elements of Transcription factor, Induced pluripotent stem cell and Degenerative disease. His Transcription factor research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Cell type and Embryogenesis.

His Degenerative disease research includes themes of Genetics, Gene expression, Cellular differentiation, Reprogramming and Fetus. Stem cell marker is a subfield of Stem cell that he explores.
