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
  • Enzyme
  • Internal medicine

Endocrinology, Internal medicine, Protein kinase B, Protein kinase A and Cell biology are his primary areas of study. When carried out as part of a general Internal medicine research project, his work on Glucagon is frequently linked to work in Nomenclature, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. His study with Protein kinase B involves better knowledge in Biochemistry.

His AMPK study, which is part of a larger body of work in Protein kinase A, is frequently linked to Nutrient, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Cell biology study combines topics in areas such as Molecular biology and Ceramide. His Insulin research includes themes of Adipose tissue and Downregulation and upregulation.

His most cited work include:

  • Regulation of Neuronal Survival by the Serine-Threonine Protein Kinase Akt (2267 citations)
  • Insulin Resistance and a Diabetes Mellitus-Like Syndrome in Mice Lacking the Protein Kinase Akt2 (PKBβ) (1603 citations)
  • AMP-kinase regulates food intake by responding to hormonal and nutrient signals in the hypothalamus (1350 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Protein kinase B, Cell biology and Insulin. His study on Internal medicine is mostly dedicated to connecting different topics, such as Downregulation and upregulation. His Endocrinology study frequently draws connections between adjacent fields such as Protein kinase A.

He has included themes like Cancer research and PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway in his Protein kinase B study. His Insulin study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Adipose tissue, Adipocyte and FOXO1. The AKT1 study combines topics in areas such as Cellular differentiation and Cell growth.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Internal medicine (44.44%)
  • Endocrinology (43.68%)
  • Protein kinase B (39.08%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Internal medicine (44.44%)
  • Endocrinology (43.68%)
  • Protein kinase B (39.08%)

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

His main research concerns Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Protein kinase B, Insulin and Insulin resistance. He interconnects Fructose, Sleep deprivation and Diacylglycerol kinase in the investigation of issues within Internal medicine. Many of his studies on Endocrinology apply to Protein kinase A as well.

Morris J. Birnbaum is exploring Protein kinase B as part of his Signal transduction and Phosphorylation and Protein kinase B studies. The study incorporates disciplines such as Carbohydrate metabolism, Downregulation and upregulation, Lipolysis and Cyclin in addition to Insulin. His studies deal with areas such as Adipose tissue and Lipid metabolism as well as Insulin receptor.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Memory CD8+ T cells use cell intrinsic lipolysis to support the metabolic programming necessary for development (415 citations)
  • Hepatic Acetyl CoA Links Adipose Tissue Inflammation to Hepatic Insulin Resistance and Type 2 Diabetes (375 citations)
  • The Small Intestine Converts Dietary Fructose into Glucose and Organic Acids (200 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Internal medicine

Morris J. Birnbaum mainly focuses on Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Insulin resistance, Insulin and Protein kinase B. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Sleep deprivation and AMPK, Protein kinase A. His Endocrinology study incorporates themes from Sleep in non-human animals, Sleep debt, Diacylglycerol kinase and Lipidomics.

His research integrates issues of Carbohydrate metabolism, Lipolysis and Phosphorylation in his study of Insulin resistance. His work on Glucagon expands to the thematically related Protein kinase B. His Insulin receptor research includes elements of Adipose tissue and White adipose tissue.
