Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Gene expression

His primary areas of study are Cell biology, EIF4E, Molecular biology, Initiation factor and Eukaryotic initiation factor. His Cell biology research includes elements of Translation, Eukaryotic translation and EIF4G. His EIF4E study necessitates a more in-depth grasp of Biochemistry.

His Molecular biology research incorporates elements of P-bodies, Messenger RNA, Gene expression and RNA. The study incorporates disciplines such as Translational regulation, Internal ribosome entry site, Eukaryotic initiation factor 4F, EIF4A1 and eIF4A in addition to Eukaryotic initiation factor. His Protein biosynthesis study incorporates themes from Poliovirus and Ribosome.

His most cited work include:

  • Mechanisms of post-transcriptional regulation by microRNAs: are the answers in sight? (3958 citations)
  • Upstream and downstream of mTOR (3385 citations)
  • Regulation of Translation Initiation in Eukaryotes: Mechanisms and Biological Targets (2218 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Cell biology, EIF4E, Molecular biology, Translation and Eukaryotic translation. His studies deal with areas such as Genetics, Translational regulation and Eukaryotic initiation factor as well as Cell biology. His study looks at the relationship between EIF4E and topics such as EIF4G, which overlap with Poly-binding protein.

His study looks at the intersection of Molecular biology and topics like Messenger RNA with Ribosome and Binding protein. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Translation, Virology is strongly linked to Protein biosynthesis. His Eukaryotic translation study deals with eIF4A intersecting with RNA Helicase A.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Cell biology (44.24%)
  • EIF4E (27.88%)
  • Molecular biology (26.74%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Cell biology (44.24%)
  • Translation (26.74%)
  • EIF4E (27.88%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Cell biology, Translation, EIF4E, Cancer research and Neuroscience. His Cell biology research incorporates themes from Genetics, Eukaryotic translation, Messenger RNA, Eukaryotic initiation factor and Initiation factor. His work focuses on many connections between Initiation factor and other disciplines, such as Internal ribosome entry site, that overlap with his field of interest in Five prime untranslated region and Ribosome profiling.

His Translation research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Cancer, Protein biosynthesis, Gene silencing, Computational biology and Effector. His EIF4E research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Cancer cell, Molecular biology, Eukaryotic Initiation Factor-4E and Phosphorylation. His Cancer research research is multidisciplinary, relying on both mTORC1, Protein kinase B, Signal transduction, PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway and Cell growth.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Translational control by 5′-untranslated regions of eukaryotic mRNAs (492 citations)
  • Targeting the translation machinery in cancer (417 citations)
  • Folding of an intrinsically disordered protein by phosphorylation as a regulatory switch (303 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Gene expression

Nahum Sonenberg mainly investigates Cell biology, Translation, EIF4E, Protein biosynthesis and Phosphorylation. His work deals with themes such as Genetics, Internal ribosome entry site, Eukaryotic initiation factor and Initiation factor, which intersect with Cell biology. His research in Translation intersects with topics in Cancer cell, Cancer, Regulation of gene expression and Computational biology.

Nahum Sonenberg has researched EIF4E in several fields, including Endocrinology, EIF4G, Eukaryotic Initiation Factor-4E, Internal medicine and MAPK/ERK pathway. His Protein biosynthesis study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Adult stem cell, RNA, Ribosome, Messenger RNA and Stem cell. As a part of the same scientific study, he usually deals with the Phosphorylation, concentrating on Cancer research and frequently concerns with Immunology and Protein kinase B.
