Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study Roger H Unger is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Diabetes mellitus
  • Enzyme

Internal medicine is closely attributed to Receptor in his research. His Receptor study frequently draws connections to adjacent fields such as Internal medicine. His study connects Pancreas and Endocrinology. His research links Hyperglucagonemia with Insulin. His Insulin research extends to the thematically linked field of Hyperglucagonemia. His research brings together the fields of Lipotoxicity and Diabetes mellitus. He integrates many fields in his works, including Lipotoxicity and Obesity. Roger H Unger performs integrative Obesity and Insulin resistance research in his work. While working on this project, Roger H Unger studies both Insulin resistance and Leptin.

His most cited work include:

  • Fatty acid-induced β cell apoptosis: A link between obesity and diabetes (1076 citations)
  • Lipotoxicity in the Pathogenesis of Obesity-Dependent NIDDM: Genetic and Clinical Implications (793 citations)
  • Lipotoxic Diseases (765 citations)

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

Roger H Unger integrates Endocrinology with Hormone in his study. Hormone and Glucagon are two areas of study in which he engages in interdisciplinary work. As part of his studies on Internal medicine, Roger H Unger often connects relevant areas like Receptor. His Receptor study typically links adjacent topics like Internal medicine. Roger H Unger performs multidisciplinary study in the fields of Insulin and Insulin resistance via his papers. While working on this project, he studies both Insulin resistance and Insulin. His Diabetes mellitus study frequently draws connections between related disciplines such as Islet. Roger H Unger combines topics linked to Diabetes mellitus with his work on Islet. Biochemistry is often connected to Glucagon in his work.
