2007 - 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
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

His primary scientific interests are in Programmed cell death, Cell biology, Apoptosis, Caenorhabditis elegans and Cell. His studies deal with areas such as Neuroscience and Cell growth as well as Programmed cell death. His research links Cell migration with Cell biology.

His Apoptosis research includes elements of Inflammation, Proinflammatory cytokine and Cell fate determination. His Caenorhabditis elegans research is classified as research in Gene. His Caspase course of study focuses on Signal transduction and Systems biology.

His most cited work include:

  • The biochemistry of apoptosis (6222 citations)
  • Molecular definitions of cell death subroutines: recommendations of the Nomenclature Committee on Cell Death 2012 (1734 citations)
  • Molecular mechanisms of cell death: recommendations of the Nomenclature Committee on Cell Death 2018. (1421 citations)

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

Michael O. Hengartner mostly deals with Cell biology, Caenorhabditis elegans, Programmed cell death, Gene and Genetics. His Cell biology research includes themes of Cell, DNA damage, Apoptosis, Molecular biology and Germ cell. Caenorhabditis elegans is the subject of his research, which falls under Biochemistry.

Michael O. Hengartner has researched Programmed cell death in several fields, including Necrosis, Signal transduction and Neuroscience. The study incorporates disciplines such as Intrinsic apoptosis and Necroptosis in addition to Neuroscience. His study looks at the relationship between Genetics and fields such as Computational biology, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Cell biology (65.91%)
  • Caenorhabditis elegans (46.21%)
  • Programmed cell death (24.24%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2019)?

  • Cell biology (65.91%)
  • Caenorhabditis elegans (46.21%)
  • Apoptosis (21.97%)

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

His main research concerns Cell biology, Caenorhabditis elegans, Apoptosis, Programmed cell death and Genetics. His biological study focuses on Rac GTP-Binding Proteins. His Caenorhabditis elegans research incorporates elements of Lectin and Mutant.

The Caspase research Michael O. Hengartner does as part of his general Apoptosis study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Neurodegeneration, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. Michael O. Hengartner has included themes like Receptor, Signal transduction and Neuroscience in his Programmed cell death study. His research in Signal transduction intersects with topics in Cell and Acetylcholine receptor.

Between 2013 and 2019, his most popular works were:

  • Molecular mechanisms of cell death: recommendations of the Nomenclature Committee on Cell Death 2018. (1421 citations)
  • Essential versus accessory aspects of cell death: recommendations of the NCCD 2015 (591 citations)
  • Methylated glycans as conserved targets of animal and fungal innate defense (46 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

Michael O. Hengartner mainly focuses on Apoptosis, Biochemistry, Neuroscience, Programmed cell death and Autophagy. His study in Apoptosis focuses on Caspase in particular. Biochemistry is a component of his Effector, Innate immune system, Glycan, Fucose and Protein family studies.

Many of his studies on Neuroscience involve topics that are commonly interrelated, such as Immunology. He combines subjects such as Pyroptosis, Immunogenic cell death, Intrinsic apoptosis and Necroptosis with his study of Autophagy.
