Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • DNA

Sonia Levi spends much of her time researching Ferritin, MITOCHONDRIAL FERRITIN, Ceruloplasmin, Biochemistry and Mitochondrion. Her specific area of interest is Ferritin, where she studies Ferroxidase activity. Her MITOCHONDRIAL FERRITIN research incorporates themes from Molecular biology and Pathology.

Her Ceruloplasmin research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Protein structure, Amino acid, Structure–activity relationship and Mineralization. Her study looks at the relationship between Biochemistry and topics such as Function, which overlap with Organelle, Iron–sulfur cluster, Cofactor and Enzyme. Her study in Mitochondrion is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Oxidative stress and Reactive oxygen species.

Her most cited work include:

  • Solving the structure of human H ferritin by genetically engineering intermolecular crystal contacts. (581 citations)
  • Ferritin, iron homeostasis, and oxidative damage. (407 citations)
  • A human mitochondrial ferritin encoded by an intronless gene. (305 citations)

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

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Ferritin, Biochemistry, Molecular biology, MITOCHONDRIAL FERRITIN and Recombinant DNA. The study incorporates disciplines such as Mutation, Protein subunit and Ceruloplasmin in addition to Ferritin. In her research, Neurodegeneration, PANK2 and Cell is intimately related to Cell biology, which falls under the overarching field of Biochemistry.

Her research in Molecular biology tackles topics such as Messenger RNA which are related to areas like RNA. As part of one scientific family, Sonia Levi deals mainly with the area of MITOCHONDRIAL FERRITIN, narrowing it down to issues related to the Mitochondrion, and often Cytosol and Sideroblastic anemia. Her research in Recombinant DNA intersects with topics in Cell culture, Binding site and Escherichia coli.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Ferritin (73.42%)
  • Biochemistry (43.67%)
  • Molecular biology (31.65%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2012-2021)?

  • Ferritin (73.42%)
  • Neurodegeneration (8.86%)
  • Cell biology (11.39%)

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

Sonia Levi mainly focuses on Ferritin, Neurodegeneration, Cell biology, Biochemistry and Neuroscience. Her Ferritin study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Oxidative stress, Endocrinology, Protein subunit and Molecular biology. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Protein structure, Cofactor, Recombinant DNA and Ceruloplasmin.

Her Molecular biology research incorporates elements of MITOCHONDRIAL FERRITIN and Pathology. Her work on Reactive oxygen species as part of general Cell biology study is frequently linked to Induced pluripotent stem cell, bridging the gap between disciplines. She is interested in Heme, which is a field of Biochemistry.

Between 2012 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation: update on pathogenic mechanisms. (93 citations)
  • The pathogenesis of cardiomyopathy in Friedreich ataxia. (62 citations)
  • Mitochondrial iron and energetic dysfunction distinguish fibroblasts and induced neurons from pantothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration patients (41 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • DNA

Sonia Levi mostly deals with Ferritin, Neurodegeneration, Biochemistry, PANK2 and Molecular biology. Ferritin is a subfield of Internal medicine that Sonia Levi studies. Her research integrates issues of Genetics and Gene in her study of Neurodegeneration.

Her Oxidative stress and Reactive oxygen species study are her primary interests in Biochemistry. Her PANK2 research integrates issues from Pathological and Cell biology. Her Molecular biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in MITOCHONDRIAL FERRITIN, Glutathione, Antioxidant and Intracellular.
