Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Biochemistry

Ornella Rossetto mainly focuses on Biochemistry, Neurotoxin, Synaptobrevin, Synaptic vesicle and Clostridium botulinum. Her research brings together the fields of Aplysia and Biochemistry. Her Neurotoxin study combines topics in areas such as Botulinum toxin, Surgery, Biophysics, Serotype and Pharmacology.

Her work deals with themes such as Molecular biology, Botulism, Ganglioside binding, Synaptic vesicle docking and Cell biology, which intersect with Synaptobrevin. In her work, Vesicle-associated membrane protein is strongly intertwined with Syntaxin, which is a subfield of Cell biology. Her research integrates issues of Integral membrane protein, Protease, Acetylcholine, Clostridium tetani and Neuromuscular junction in her study of Synaptic vesicle.

Her most cited work include:

  • Tetanus and botulinum-B neurotoxins block neurotransmitter release by proteolytic cleavage of synaptobrevin (1492 citations)
  • Identification of the nerve terminal targets of botulinum neurotoxin serotypes A, D, and E. (382 citations)
  • Botulinum neurotoxins: genetic, structural and mechanistic insights (317 citations)

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

Her primary scientific interests are in Biochemistry, Synaptic vesicle, Neurotoxin, Cell biology and Pharmacology. Her work carried out in the field of Biochemistry brings together such families of science as Botulism and Biophysics. She interconnects Neurotransmitter, Exocytosis, Acetylcholine, Thioredoxin and Neuromuscular junction in the investigation of issues within Synaptic vesicle.

Her Neurotoxin study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Cholinergic, Phospholipase A2, Clostridium botulinum, Clostridium tetani and Metalloproteinase. Her research investigates the link between Cell biology and topics such as Vesicle that cross with problems in Endocytosis and Lysophospholipids. Her Pharmacology study also includes fields such as

  • Toxin that connect with fields like Receptor and Stereochemistry,
  • Serotype most often made with reference to Botulinum toxin.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Biochemistry (39.37%)
  • Synaptic vesicle (28.75%)
  • Neurotoxin (23.13%)

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

  • Botulism (18.13%)
  • Neuroscience (17.50%)
  • Pharmacology (18.75%)

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

Botulism, Neuroscience, Pharmacology, Biochemistry and Peripheral nerve are her primary areas of study. The Botulism study combines topics in areas such as Microbial toxins, Clostridium botulinum, Proteolysis and Syntaxin. The Cholinergic, Excitatory postsynaptic potential, Reinnervation and Electrophysiology research she does as part of her general Neuroscience study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Peripheral, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.

Her research in Pharmacology intersects with topics in Botulinum neurotoxin, Toxicity and Neuronal toxicity. Her Biochemistry study frequently draws connections to adjacent fields such as Redox. Her Thioredoxin research incorporates elements of Infant Botulism, Hsp90, Synaptic vesicle and Reductase.

Between 2014 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Botulinum Neurotoxins: Biology, Pharmacology, and Toxicology. (232 citations)
  • Historical perspectives and guidelines for botulinum neurotoxin subtype nomenclature (133 citations)
  • On the translocation of botulinum and tetanus neurotoxins across the membrane of acidic intracellular compartments. (52 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Biochemistry

Ornella Rossetto mainly investigates Botulism, Cytosol, Biochemistry, Pharmacology and Neuroscience. Her Botulism research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Botulinum neurotoxin and Microbial toxins. Her Botulinum neurotoxin research includes themes of Computational biology and Clostridium botulinum.

Thioredoxin, Intracellular and Internalization are the core of her Biochemistry study. Her Thioredoxin research includes elements of Synaptic vesicle, Reductase and Geldanamycin. Her studies in Neuroscience integrate themes in fields like Molecular mechanism and Peripheral nerve.
