Overview

Phillip A. Newmark is affiliated with the University of Wisconsin-Madison in the United States. Their research spans multiple fields within the life and environmental sciences, focusing particularly on biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, and environmental science.

The major subfields of their work include molecular biology, global and planetary change, parasitology, ecology, and paleontology. Their research often centers on topics such as planarian biology and electrostimulation, marine ecology and invasive species, parasites and host interactions, marine invertebrate physiology and ecology, plant and biological electrophysiology studies, and genetics, aging, and longevity in model organisms.

Recent publications by Phillip A. Newmark include:

  • "Single-cell atlas of the first intra-mammalian developmental stage of the human parasite Schistosoma mansoni," 2020, Nature Communications
  • "Cell-type diversity and regionalized gene expression in the planarian intestine," 2020, eLife
  • "The esophageal gland mediates host immune evasion by the human parasite Schistosoma mansoni," 2020, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
  • "A Krüppel-like factor is required for development and regeneration of germline and yolk cells from somatic stem cells in planarians," 2022, PLoS Biology
  • "Somatic regulation of female germ cell regeneration and development in planarians," 2022, Cell Reports

The frequent co-authors with whom Phillip A. Newmark has collaborated include Umair Khan, Melanie Issigonis, Jayhun Lee, Tracy Chong, and Tania Rozario.

Their work has been published in multiple venues, with notable frequency in bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Current Topics in Developmental Biology, Nature Communications, and eLife.

Phillip A. Newmark's research integrates molecular techniques and organismal studies to elucidate complex biological processes, particularly regarding parasitology, stem cell biology, and regeneration within planarians and parasitic species.

They were recognized as a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in 2014.
