Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Biochemistry

His primary areas of investigation include Biochemistry, Cell biology, Secretion, Vesicle and Exocytosis. His research related to Chloride channel, ATPase, Membrane, Membrane transport and Proton-Translocating ATPases might be considered part of Biochemistry. His research integrates issues of Basolateral plasma membrane, Epithelial polarity and Intercalated Cell in his study of Membrane transport.

Qais Al-Awqati has included themes like Endocrinology, Internal medicine, Ureteric bud and Cellular differentiation in his Cell biology study. His Vesicle research also works with subjects such as

  • Biophysics that connect with fields like Dextran and Intracellular,
  • Golgi apparatus which connect with Endocytic cycle. The Exocytosis study which covers Endocytosis that intersects with Apical membrane.

His most cited work include:

  • The renal papilla is a niche for adult kidney stem cells. (468 citations)
  • Defective acidification of intracellular organelles in cystic fibrosis (427 citations)
  • Plasticity of functional epithelial polarity (302 citations)

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

Qais Al-Awqati mainly focuses on Cell biology, Biochemistry, Intercalated Cell, Kidney and Biophysics. The Cell biology study combines topics in areas such as Endocrinology, Endocytosis, Internal medicine and Cellular differentiation. Secretion, Vesicle, Chloride channel, ATPase and Intracellular are the core of his Biochemistry study.

Qais Al-Awqati interconnects Apical membrane, Epithelium, Epithelial polarity, Band 3 and Cell type in the investigation of issues within Intercalated Cell. His Kidney study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Stem cell, Ureteric bud and Pathology. While the research belongs to areas of Biophysics, he spends his time largely on the problem of Ion transporter, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Cholera toxin and Cholera.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Cell biology (35.12%)
  • Biochemistry (31.55%)
  • Intercalated Cell (17.86%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2021)?

  • Cell biology (35.12%)
  • Kidney (17.26%)
  • Intercalated Cell (17.86%)

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

Qais Al-Awqati mainly investigates Cell biology, Kidney, Intercalated Cell, Secretion and Cell type. Qais Al-Awqati combines subjects such as Endocrinology, Biochemistry, Transcription factor, Internal medicine and Endocytosis with his study of Cell biology. The various areas that he examines in his Kidney study include Aldosterone, Physiology and Pathology.

His research investigates the connection with Intercalated Cell and areas like Epithelial polarity which intersect with concerns in Bicarbonate, Exocytosis, Bicarbonate transport and Electrochemical gradient. The concepts of his Secretion study are interwoven with issues in Tubule, Distal renal tubular acidosis, Acidosis, Urine and Extracellular matrix. His Cell type research incorporates elements of Epithelium and Stem cell.

Between 2009 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • α–Intercalated cells defend the urinary system from bacterial infection (88 citations)
  • Transcription factor TFCP2L1 patterns cells in the mouse kidney collecting ducts. (67 citations)
  • Deletion of hensin/DMBT1 blocks conversion of β- To α-intercalated cells and induces distal renal tubular acidosis (64 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Internal medicine

Qais Al-Awqati focuses on Kidney, Cell biology, Intercalated Cell, Secretion and Cell type. His Kidney research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Acute kidney injury and Acute-phase protein. His Intercalated Cell study is concerned with Biochemistry in general.

His study on Biochemistry is mostly dedicated to connecting different topics, such as Distal renal tubular acidosis. As part of the same scientific family, Qais Al-Awqati usually focuses on Secretion, concentrating on Extracellular matrix and intersecting with Epithelial polarity and Integrin. Within one scientific family, Qais Al-Awqati focuses on topics pertaining to Stem cell under Cell type, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Notch signaling pathway, Transcription factor, JAG1 and Homeostasis.
