Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Cell membrane
  • Biochemistry

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Lipid bilayer fusion, Membrane, Biochemistry, Biophysics and Cell fusion. The Lipid bilayer fusion study combines topics in areas such as Protein structure, Viral envelope, Gp41 and Cell biology. His studies in Membrane integrate themes in fields like Chemotaxis and Stereochemistry.

His is doing research in Liposome and Lipid bilayer phase behavior, both of which are found in Biochemistry. His work carried out in the field of Biophysics brings together such families of science as Hemagglutinin and Vesicle. His study focuses on the intersection of Cell fusion and fields such as Molecular biology with connections in the field of Cytosol, Helix bundle and Effector.

His most cited work include:

  • Design of liposomes for enhanced local release of drugs by hyperthermia (696 citations)
  • Liposome-cell interaction: Transfer and intracellular release of a trapped fluorescent marker (622 citations)
  • Lipid-based Nanoparticles as Pharmaceutical Drug Carriers: From Concepts to Clinic (489 citations)

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