Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Internal medicine

His primary areas of study are Apolipoprotein E, Biochemistry, Endocrinology, Internal medicine and Apolipoprotein B. Robert W. Mahley has researched Apolipoprotein E in several fields, including LDL receptor, Very low-density lipoprotein, Lipoprotein and Molecular biology. In general Endocrinology, his work in Plasma lipoprotein, Type 2 diabetes and Insulin resistance is often linked to Enolase linking many areas of study.

His work in the fields of Hypertriglyceridemia overlaps with other areas such as Fetus. His Apolipoprotein B research incorporates elements of Genetic disorder, Neurodegeneration, Apolipoprotein C2, Lipid metabolism and Gene isoform. His Cholesterol study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Genetics and Disease.

His most cited work include:

  • Apolipoprotein E: cholesterol transport protein with expanding role in cell biology. (3529 citations)
  • A genome-wide association search for type 2 diabetes genes in African Americans. (1727 citations)
  • New genetic loci implicated in fasting glucose homeostasis and their impact on type 2 diabetes risk (1707 citations)

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

Robert W. Mahley mainly focuses on Apolipoprotein E, Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Biochemistry and Apolipoprotein B. His studies deal with areas such as Receptor, LDL receptor, Lipoprotein and Low-density lipoprotein as well as Apolipoprotein E. His work carried out in the field of Lipoprotein brings together such families of science as Lipoprotein lipase and Ligand.

His studies in Internal medicine integrate themes in fields like Turkish population, Genetically modified mouse and Cardiology. His Biochemistry study which covers Cell biology that intersects with Neurite and Cytoskeleton. His study looks at the relationship between Apolipoprotein B and fields such as Molecular biology, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Apolipoprotein E (46.19%)
  • Internal medicine (42.78%)
  • Endocrinology (40.16%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2003-2019)?

  • Apolipoprotein E (46.19%)
  • Internal medicine (42.78%)
  • Endocrinology (40.16%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Apolipoprotein E, Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Apolipoprotein B and Cell biology. His specific area of interest is Apolipoprotein E, where Robert W. Mahley studies Apolipoproteins E. His work carried out in the field of Internal medicine brings together such families of science as Single-nucleotide polymorphism and Cardiology.

His study ties his expertise on Genetics together with the subject of Endocrinology. His studies in Apolipoprotein B integrate themes in fields like Receptor, Small molecule, Neuropathology, Lipoprotein and Gene isoform. His research integrates issues of Alzheimer's disease, Apolipoprotein e4, Amyloid precursor protein and Protein structure, Biochemistry in his study of Cell biology.

Between 2003 and 2019, his most popular works were:

  • A genome-wide association search for type 2 diabetes genes in African Americans. (1727 citations)
  • New genetic loci implicated in fasting glucose homeostasis and their impact on type 2 diabetes risk (1707 citations)
  • Ancient human genomes suggest three ancestral populations for present-day Europeans (811 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Internal medicine

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Apolipoprotein E, Apolipoprotein B, Neurodegeneration, Genetics and Endocrinology. His Apolipoprotein E research incorporates elements of Biochemistry, Cholesterol and Cell biology. His Apolipoprotein B research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Neuropathology, Receptor, Genotype and Gene isoform.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including In situ hybridization, Microglia, Transfection, Molecular biology and Gene knockin. His work on Genome-wide association study, Genomics and Denisovan is typically connected to European community as part of general Genetics study, connecting several disciplines of science. His work in Endocrinology is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses Internal medicine.
