Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Cancer

Moshe Szyf mainly investigates DNA methylation, Molecular biology, Epigenetics, Internal medicine and Endocrinology. His DNA methylation study combines topics in areas such as Cancer research and Methylation. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Histone H2A, Epigenomics, Trichostatin A, DNA demethylation and Histone methylation.

His Epigenetics research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Chromatin, Epigenesis, Phenotype and Epigenome. His Internal medicine research incorporates themes from Offspring and Gene expression. His Endocrinology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Transgene, Extracellular, BACE1-AS, Amyloid precursor protein and Intracellular.

His most cited work include:

  • Early environmental regulation of hippocampal glucocorticoid receptor gene expression: characterization of intracellular mediators and potential genomic target sites. (293 citations)
  • GABAA receptor promoter hypermethylation in suicide brain: implications for the involvement of epigenetic processes (238 citations)
  • The consequences of early life adversity: neurobiological, behavioural and epigenetic adaptations (220 citations)

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

Moshe Szyf mainly focuses on DNA methylation, Epigenetics, Methylation, Molecular biology and Cancer research. His DNA methylation research incorporates elements of Internal medicine and DNA. His research integrates issues of Bioinformatics, Chromatin, Epigenomics, Neuroscience and Epigenome in his study of Epigenetics.

Within one scientific family, Moshe Szyf focuses on topics pertaining to Endocrinology under Methylation, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Offspring, Gene expression and Fetus. In his work, Transcription factor and Regulation of gene expression is strongly intertwined with Promoter, which is a subfield of Molecular biology. As part of one scientific family, Moshe Szyf deals mainly with the area of Cancer research, narrowing it down to issues related to the Cancer, and often In vivo.

He most often published in these fields:

  • DNA methylation (66.54%)
  • Epigenetics (38.97%)
  • Methylation (25.00%)

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

  • DNA methylation (66.54%)
  • Epigenetics (38.97%)
  • Gene (17.28%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in DNA methylation, Epigenetics, Gene, Internal medicine and Methylation. His studies deal with areas such as Cancer, Genome and DNA as well as DNA methylation. His Epigenetics research includes elements of Prenatal stress, Saliva, Prefrontal cortex and Hippocampus, Neuroscience.

His work deals with themes such as Hepatocellular carcinoma and Blood test, which intersect with Gene. Moshe Szyf combines subjects such as Endocrinology and Oncology with his study of Internal medicine. The study incorporates disciplines such as Offspring, Valproic Acid and Gene expression in addition to Endocrinology.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Antenatal Glucocorticoid Exposure Results in Sex-Specific and Transgenerational Changes in Prefrontal Cortex Gene Transcription that Relate to Behavioural Outcomes. (12 citations)
  • A longitudinal, epigenome-wide study of DNA methylation in anorexia nervosa: results in actively ill, partially weight-restored, long-term remitted and non-eating-disordered women (9 citations)
  • Preliminary indications that the Attachment and Biobehavioral Catch-up Intervention alters DNA methylation in maltreated children. (8 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Cancer

His primary areas of investigation include Epigenetics, DNA methylation, Internal medicine, Gene and Gene expression. His Epigenetics research includes themes of Methylation, Anorexia nervosa, Young adult, Genome and Substance use. His Genome study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Mental health, Neuroscience, DNA and Animal studies.

His DNA methylation study focuses on Epigenome in particular. His Internal medicine course of study focuses on Endocrinology and Offspring. Moshe Szyf works mostly in the field of Gene expression, limiting it down to concerns involving Prefrontal cortex and, occasionally, Autism, Valproic Acid, Sex characteristics and Juvenile.
