Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Cancer
  • DNA

Paul A. Northcott mostly deals with Medulloblastoma, Bioinformatics, Genetics, Cancer research and Gene expression profiling. His studies deal with areas such as Cancer, SMARCA4, Li–Fraumeni syndrome, Survival rate and Genomics as well as Medulloblastoma. His Bioinformatics study combines topics in areas such as Disease, Gene, Human genetics and DNA methylation.

His study in Cancer research is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Immunology, Sonic hedgehog, Signal transduction, Enhancer and Gene silencing. The Gene expression profiling study combines topics in areas such as Clinical trial, Transcriptome, Consensus conference, Adult Medulloblastoma and Molecular classification. He interconnects DNA Mutational Analysis, Cytidine deaminase, DNA mismatch repair and APOBEC, Kataegis in the investigation of issues within Exome.

His most cited work include:

  • Signatures of mutational processes in human cancer (5372 citations)
  • Molecular Subgroups of Medulloblastoma: The Current Consensus (1065 citations)
  • Medulloblastoma Comprises Four Distinct Molecular Variants (888 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Medulloblastoma, Cancer research, Cancer, Bioinformatics and Genetics. Paul A. Northcott combines subjects such as Wnt signaling pathway, Oncology, Genomics, Sonic hedgehog and Internal medicine with his study of Medulloblastoma. His research integrates issues of DNA methylation, Carcinogenesis, Mutation, Metastasis and Gene silencing in his study of Cancer research.

His study looks at the relationship between DNA methylation and topics such as Epigenetics, which overlap with Histone. His Cancer research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Phenotype, Chromothripsis, Germline mutation and Human genetics. His Bioinformatics research focuses on Gene expression profiling and how it connects with Immunohistochemistry.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Medulloblastoma (72.03%)
  • Cancer research (39.86%)
  • Cancer (19.58%)

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

  • Medulloblastoma (72.03%)
  • Cancer research (39.86%)
  • Internal medicine (14.34%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Medulloblastoma, Cancer research, Internal medicine, Oncology and Germline. His Medulloblastoma research integrates issues from Chemotherapy regimen, Wnt signaling pathway, Genomics, Sonic hedgehog and Computational biology. His Cancer research research incorporates elements of Carcinogenesis, Suppressor, Single-cell analysis, Circulating tumor DNA and In vivo.

Paul A. Northcott has researched Germline in several fields, including Cancer, Germline mutation, Knockout mouse and Somatic cell. His Cancer research is included under the broader classification of Genetics. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Exome sequencing, Multicenter study and Bioinformatics.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Pan-cancer analysis of whole genomes (538 citations)
  • Resolving medulloblastoma cellular architecture by single-cell genomics (105 citations)
  • Second-generation molecular subgrouping of medulloblastoma: an international meta-analysis of Group 3 and Group 4 subtypes (55 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Cancer
  • DNA

Paul A. Northcott spends much of his time researching Medulloblastoma, Cancer research, Computational biology, Germline and Sonic hedgehog. Paul A. Northcott integrates Medulloblastoma and In patient in his research.
