Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

His main research concerns Cell biology, Cyclin-dependent kinase, Cyclin-dependent kinase 7, Phosphorylation and Cyclin-dependent kinase complex. His work carried out in the field of Cell biology brings together such families of science as Spindle apparatus, Central spindle, Cyclin-dependent kinase 2, Cyclin H and Cyclin A. In his work, he performs multidisciplinary research in Cyclin-dependent kinase and RNA polymerase II.

His Cyclin-dependent kinase 7 research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Cyclin-dependent kinase 1, CDK-activating kinase and Transcription factor. His study in Transcription factor is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Molecular biology and RNA polymerase II holoenzyme. His Cyclin-dependent kinase complex research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Cyclin A2, Cyclin binding and Cyclin D.

His most cited work include:

  • A novel cyclin associates with M015/CDK7 to form the CDK-activating kinase (565 citations)
  • Cdk-activating kinase complex is a component of human transcription factor TFIIH (389 citations)
  • TFIIH-Associated Cdk7 Kinase Functions in Phosphorylation of C-Terminal Domain Ser7 Residues, Promoter-Proximal Pausing, and Termination by RNA Polymerase II (237 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Cell biology, Cyclin-dependent kinase, RNA polymerase II, Transcription and Cyclin-dependent kinase 1. His studies deal with areas such as Chromatin, Cyclin-dependent kinase complex, Cell division and Cyclin A as well as Cell biology. His research in Cyclin A tackles topics such as Cyclin A2 which are related to areas like Cyclin E.

Robert P. Fisher combines subjects such as Kinase and Cyclin-dependent kinase 2, Cyclin-dependent kinase 7 with his study of Cyclin-dependent kinase. Other disciplines of study, such as Cyclin-dependent kinase 9, Molecular biology, P-TEFb, Transcription factor II D and Transcription factor II H, are mixed together with his RNA polymerase II studies. His Transcription study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Cancer cell and Gene expression.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Cell biology (60.23%)
  • Cyclin-dependent kinase (53.41%)
  • RNA polymerase II (36.36%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Cell biology (60.23%)
  • Transcription (26.14%)
  • RNA polymerase II (36.36%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Cell biology, Transcription, RNA polymerase II, Cyclin-dependent kinase 9 and Kinase. His work on Phosphorylation as part of general Cell biology study is frequently connected to P-TEFb, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them. The study incorporates disciplines such as Cancer cell and Cyclin-dependent kinase 7 in addition to Transcription.

His study in RNA polymerase II intersects with areas of studies such as Cyclin-dependent kinase, Gene, RNA polymerase II holoenzyme and Transcription factor II D. The concepts of his Cyclin-dependent kinase study are interwoven with issues in Protein phosphatase 2 and Cell signaling. His work focuses on many connections between Cyclin-dependent kinase 9 and other disciplines, such as Kinase activity, that overlap with his field of interest in Schizosaccharomyces pombe.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • A Cdk9–PP1 switch regulates the elongation–termination transition of RNA polymerase II (45 citations)
  • Cdk7: a kinase at the core of transcription and in the crosshairs of cancer drug discovery. (36 citations)
  • Cdk9 regulates a promoter-proximal checkpoint to modulate RNA polymerase II elongation rate in fission yeast. (35 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

His primary scientific interests are in Cell biology, Transcription, Cyclin-dependent kinase 7, RNA polymerase II and Gene. Many of his research projects under Cell biology are closely connected to P-TEFb with P-TEFb, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Cancer research and Kinase.

Robert P. Fisher performs multidisciplinary studies into RNA polymerase II and Cyclin-dependent kinase 9 in his work. His Cyclin-dependent kinase 9 study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Polyadenylation and Chromatin. His work on Cyclin-dependent kinase and Schizosaccharomyces pombe as part of general Gene study is frequently connected to Transcription factor II H, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.
