Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Mutation

Neuroscience, Genetics, Regulation of gene expression, Neocortex and Gene are his primary areas of study. His studies in Neuroscience integrate themes in fields like Schizophrenia, Disease and Mutant. Nenad Sestan interconnects Autism, Autism spectrum disorder and Human brain in the investigation of issues within Genetics.

His study in Regulation of gene expression is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Transcriptome, Computational biology, Cell type and Gene regulatory network. His Neocortex research includes themes of Cerebral cortex, Subplate, Mitosis, Molecular biology and Chromatin remodeling. In general Gene study, his work on Gene expression profiling and Locus often relates to the realm of Genome-wide association study, thereby connecting several areas of interest.

His most cited work include:

  • De novo mutations revealed by whole-exome sequencing are strongly associated with autism (1516 citations)
  • Spatio-temporal transcriptome of the human brain (1286 citations)
  • Sequence Variants in SLITRK1 Are Associated with Tourette's Syndrome (827 citations)

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

Nenad Sestan mostly deals with Neuroscience, Genetics, Transcriptome, Human brain and Cerebral cortex. His work focuses on many connections between Neuroscience and other disciplines, such as Regulation of gene expression, that overlap with his field of interest in Gene regulatory network. The concepts of his Genetics study are interwoven with issues in Autism spectrum disorder and Cell biology.

His Transcriptome research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Cell type, Gene expression profiling, RNA, Prefrontal cortex and Computational biology. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Evolutionary biology, Subplate and Macaque. In Cerebral cortex, Nenad Sestan works on issues like Cerebrum, which are connected to Cortex.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (46.87%)
  • Genetics (25.00%)
  • Transcriptome (21.25%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Neuroscience (46.87%)
  • Transcriptome (21.25%)
  • Gene (18.75%)

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

Nenad Sestan spends much of his time researching Neuroscience, Transcriptome, Gene, Cerebral cortex and Neural stem cell. His study focuses on the intersection of Neuroscience and fields such as Glutamatergic with connections in the field of Enhancer. His Transcriptome study combines topics in areas such as RNA, Regulation of gene expression, Prefrontal cortex and Cell type.

His Gene study necessitates a more in-depth grasp of Genetics. His research in Cerebral cortex intersects with topics in Dendritic spine, Lateral geniculate nucleus, GABAergic and Chromosome 17. The Gene expression study combines topics in areas such as Computational biology and Nervous system.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Comprehensive functional genomic resource and integrative model for the human brain (331 citations)
  • Integrative functional genomic analysis of human brain development and neuropsychiatric risks (241 citations)
  • An analytical framework for whole-genome sequence association studies and its implications for autism spectrum disorder. (125 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Mutation

Nenad Sestan mainly investigates Neuroscience, Transcriptome, Autism spectrum disorder, Computational biology and Human brain. In the subject of general Neuroscience, his work in Cerebral cortex is often linked to Epigenome, thereby combining diverse domains of study. His Transcriptome study incorporates themes from Gene expression profiling, Nervous system, Single-cell analysis, Regulation of gene expression and Cell type.

His Autism spectrum disorder research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Gene Discovery, Genetic variation and Genomics. His Computational biology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Infectious disease and Gene. His Human brain study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Evolutionary biology and Prefrontal cortex.
