Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study Roberto Zoncu is best known for:

Gene
Central nervous system
Enzyme

His Mechanistic target of rapamycin research extends to the thematically linked field of Cell biology. He integrates Mechanistic target of rapamycin with mTORC1 in his study. His work in mTORC1 is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway. His PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway study frequently links to adjacent areas such as RHEB. His RHEB study frequently links to other fields, such as Cell biology. Roberto Zoncu combines Enzyme and Cancer cell in his studies. His work often combines Cancer cell and Apoptosis studies. He merges many fields, such as Apoptosis and Programmed cell death, in his writings. His Biochemistry research extends to Programmed cell death, which is thematically connected.

His most cited work include:

mTOR: from growth signal integration to cancer, diabetes and ageing (3341 citations)
Ragulator-Rag Complex Targets mTORC1 to the Lysosomal Surface and Is Necessary for Its Activation by Amino Acids (1915 citations)
A lysosome-to-nucleus signalling mechanism senses and regulates the lysosome via mTOR and TFEB (1419 citations)

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

Cell biology and Phosphorylation are frequently intertwined in his study. He conducts interdisciplinary study in the fields of Phosphorylation and mTORC1 through his works. His research links GTPase with Biochemistry. Borrowing concepts from Gene, he weaves in ideas under GTPase. He integrates many fields in his works, including Gene and Cell. He combines Cell and Biochemistry in his research. Roberto Zoncu conducts interdisciplinary study in the fields of Enzyme and Amino acid through his works.
