Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Biochemistry
  • Genetics
  • Microtubule

His main research concerns Microtubule, Cell biology, Kinesin, Microtubule nucleation and Tubulin. His work carried out in the field of Microtubule brings together such families of science as Antiparallel, Biophysics, Molecular motor, Mitosis and Cell division. As a member of one scientific family, Thomas Surrey mostly works in the field of Biophysics, focusing on Motor protein and, on occasion, Nanotechnology and Aster.

As a part of the same scientific study, Thomas Surrey usually deals with the Cell biology, concentrating on Spindle apparatus and frequently concerns with Microtubule organizing center. His study ties his expertise on Biochemistry together with the subject of Kinesin. His work in Microtubule-associated protein addresses subjects such as Microtubule plus-end, which are connected to disciplines such as Cell morphogenesis.

His most cited work include:

  • Self-organization of microtubules and motors (598 citations)
  • Physical Properties Determining Self-Organization of Motors and Microtubules (437 citations)
  • Reconstitution of a microtubule plus-end tracking system in vitro. (381 citations)

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

Thomas Surrey mainly investigates Microtubule, Cell biology, Biophysics, Kinesin and Microtubule nucleation. The Microtubule study combines topics in areas such as Molecular motor and Cytoskeleton. His research integrates issues of Spindle apparatus and Microtubule organizing center in his study of Cell biology.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Protein structure, Biochemistry, Protein filament and GTPase. His work deals with themes such as Directionality, Nanotechnology and Motility, which intersect with Kinesin. He interconnects Plasma protein binding, Cryo-electron microscopy and Total internal reflection fluorescence microscope in the investigation of issues within Microtubule nucleation.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Microtubule (75.96%)
  • Cell biology (50.96%)
  • Biophysics (28.85%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Microtubule (75.96%)
  • Biophysics (28.85%)
  • Tubulin (19.23%)

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

Thomas Surrey spends much of his time researching Microtubule, Biophysics, Tubulin, Total internal reflection fluorescence microscope and Cytoskeleton. His Kinesin and Motor protein investigations are all subjects of Microtubule research. Aster and Molecular motor is closely connected to Protein filament in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Kinesin.

In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Total internal reflection fluorescence microscope, Cryo-electron microscopy and Actin is strongly linked to Microtubule nucleation. His Mitosis study is concerned with the field of Cell biology as a whole. His Cell biology research includes themes of Cell cortex and Kinetochore.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Determinants of Polar versus Nematic Organization in Networks of Dynamic Microtubules and Mitotic Motors (46 citations)
  • Microtubule Nucleation Properties of Single Human γTuRCs Explained by Their Cryo-EM Structure (34 citations)
  • Spherical network contraction forms microtubule asters in confinement (22 citations)

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

  • Biochemistry
  • Genetics
  • Microtubule

His primary areas of study are Biophysics, Microtubule, Cytoskeleton, Protein filament and Kinesin. His research in Microtubule is mostly focused on Motor protein. His research links Aster with Motor protein.

His research in Spindle pole body intersects with topics in Molecular motor and Mitosis. His Kinetics study spans across into subjects like Tubulin, DNA-binding protein, Chemical biology and GTPase. Thomas Surrey incorporates a variety of subjects into his writings, including Elongation, Actin, Total internal reflection fluorescence microscope, Resolution, Microtubule nucleation and Nucleation.
