Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Quantum mechanics
  • DNA

His scientific interests lie mostly in Genetics, Promoter, Transcription, Dislocation and Biophysics. As part of his studies on Genetics, Rob Phillips often connects relevant areas like Computational biology. His work deals with themes such as RNA polymerase II, RNA polymerase, Sigma factor and Repressor, which intersect with Computational biology.

As part of the same scientific family, he usually focuses on Promoter, concentrating on Transcription factor and intersecting with Gene dosage. The study incorporates disciplines such as Mechanics, Hardening effect, Finite element method and Grain boundary in addition to Dislocation. His Biophysics study combines topics in areas such as Genome, Biochemistry, DNA and Capsid.

His most cited work include:

  • Quasicontinuum analysis of defects in solids (1261 citations)
  • Emerging roles for lipids in shaping membrane-protein function (682 citations)
  • The biomass distribution on Earth (679 citations)

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

Rob Phillips mainly focuses on Computational biology, Biophysics, DNA, Transcriptional regulation and Genetics. Rob Phillips interconnects Gene expression, Transcription factor, Promoter, Gene and Regulation of gene expression in the investigation of issues within Computational biology. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including RNA polymerase and Transcription.

His Transcription factor research is multidisciplinary, relying on both DNA binding site and Cell biology. In general Biophysics study, his work on Gating often relates to the realm of Mechanosensitive channels, thereby connecting several areas of interest. Rob Phillips works mostly in the field of DNA, limiting it down to topics relating to Genome and, in certain cases, Bacteriophage, as a part of the same area of interest.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Computational biology (17.91%)
  • Biophysics (14.93%)
  • DNA (11.34%)

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

  • Computational biology (17.91%)
  • Biophysics (14.93%)
  • Gene expression (8.66%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Computational biology, Biophysics, Gene expression, Transcriptional regulation and Binding site. His Computational biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Transcription, Transcription factor, Gene, RNA polymerase and Promoter. His research integrates issues of Osmotic concentration, Osmotic shock, Osmotic pressure and DNA in his study of Biophysics.

In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Binding site, Cyclic AMP Receptor Protein and Ligand is strongly linked to Allosteric regulation. His studies examine the connections between Regulatory sequence and genetics, as well as such issues in Genome, with regards to Bacteriophage. His research investigates the connection between Bacteriophage and topics such as Cell biology that intersect with issues in Membrane.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The biomass distribution on Earth (679 citations)
  • SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) by the numbers. (263 citations)
  • Systematic approach for dissecting the molecular mechanisms of transcriptional regulation in bacteria. (50 citations)

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

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Gene
  • DNA

His primary areas of study are Computational biology, Genome, Gene, Regulation of gene expression and Transcriptional regulation. His Computational biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Transcription factor, Promoter, Transcription, Allosteric regulation and Mechanism. His study in Transcription factor is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both DNA binding site and Reporter gene.

Rob Phillips works in the field of Transcription, focusing on RNA polymerase in particular. His study looks at the intersection of RNA polymerase and topics like Classical genetics with DNA. His Genome study incorporates themes from Bacteriophage, Bacterial virus, DNA sequencing and Metagenomics.
