Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Gene expression

Roeland W. Dirks mainly focuses on Molecular biology, Cell biology, RNA, In situ hybridization and Telomere. His Molecular biology study combines topics in areas such as Histone H3, Mitochondrial DNA, Cytogenetics, Nucleic acid thermodynamics and Transfer RNA. His Cell biology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Hayflick limit, Biochemistry and Fluorescence microscope.

Roeland W. Dirks has included themes like Molecular beacon, Messenger RNA and Gene expression in his RNA study. He works mostly in the field of In situ hybridization, limiting it down to topics relating to Hybridization probe and, in certain cases, Fluorescence, Förster resonance energy transfer, Fluorescence in situ hybridization, Nucleic acid and Microscopy. While the research belongs to areas of Telomere, Roeland W. Dirks spends his time largely on the problem of Chromosome, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Q-FISH.

His most cited work include:

  • Heterogeneity in Telomere Length of Human Chromosomes (747 citations)
  • Regulation of sexual development of Plasmodium by translational repression. (339 citations)
  • Loss of HAUSP-mediated deubiquitination contributes to DNA damage-induced destabilization of Hdmx and Hdm2 (231 citations)

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

Roeland W. Dirks spends much of his time researching Molecular biology, Cell biology, RNA, In situ hybridization and Gene expression. His Molecular biology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Fluorescence in situ hybridization and Messenger RNA, Gene, Intron. His Cell biology research integrates issues from Cell and Nuclear lamina.

His work deals with themes such as Molecular beacon, Nucleolus, Transcription and DNA, which intersect with RNA. His In situ hybridization research includes themes of Hybridization probe, Hapten, Oligonucleotide and Biotin. His Hybridization probe course of study focuses on Nucleic acid and Regulation of gene expression.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Molecular biology (50.00%)
  • Cell biology (45.24%)
  • RNA (39.29%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2006-2018)?

  • Cell biology (45.24%)
  • Senescence (8.33%)
  • Molecular biology (50.00%)

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

His main research concerns Cell biology, Senescence, Molecular biology, Cell nucleus and Fibroblast. He has researched Cell biology in several fields, including Cell, Green fluorescent protein, RNA transport, Bimolecular fluorescence complementation and Programmed cell death. The Senescence study combines topics in areas such as Oxidative stress, Rotenone, Apoptosis, Reactive oxygen species and Telomere.

His Molecular biology research incorporates elements of Wnt signaling pathway, Gene expression profiling, Microarray, Myocyte and Cell cycle. His study looks at the intersection of Cell nucleus and topics like DNA with Nucleic acid. In his research, Gene expression is intimately related to RNA, which falls under the overarching field of Peptide nucleic acid.

Between 2006 and 2018, his most popular works were:

  • Universal features of post-transcriptional gene regulation are critical for Plasmodium zygote development. (195 citations)
  • The nuclear lamina promotes telomere aggregation and centromere peripheral localization during senescence of human mesenchymal stem cells (69 citations)
  • Rapid flow cytometric method for measuring senescence associated β-galactosidase activity in human fibroblasts (48 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Gene expression

His scientific interests lie mostly in Senescence, Cell nucleus, Cell biology, Telomere and Molecular biology. The concepts of his Senescence study are interwoven with issues in Cell, Apoptosis, Programmed cell death, Lamina and Nuclear lamina. The study incorporates disciplines such as Live cell imaging, Nuclear matrix, Chromatin, Green fluorescent protein and Splicing factor in addition to Cell nucleus.

The various areas that he examines in his Cell biology study include Histone H4, Hayflick limit and RNA splicing. His Telomere study necessitates a more in-depth grasp of DNA. Many of his research projects under Molecular biology are closely connected to Bafilomycin with Bafilomycin, tying the diverse disciplines of science together.
