Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

His scientific interests lie mostly in Molecular biology, Gene expression, Transcription, Transcription factor and c-Fos. He combines subjects such as Transcriptional regulation, DNA, Complementary DNA, Gene and Binding site with his study of Molecular biology. His Gene expression research includes elements of Messenger RNA, Cell type, Cellular differentiation and Reverse transcriptase.

His Transcription research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Calcineurin, Stimulus, Neuroscience, T cell and Cyclosporin a. His c-Fos research includes themes of Cell culture and Internal medicine, Stimulation, Endocrinology. His work deals with themes such as Cell biology and Nerve growth factor, which intersect with Cell culture.

His most cited work include:

  • Stimulus-Transcription Coupling in the Nervous System: Involvement of the Inducible Proto-Oncogenes fos and jun (2483 citations)
  • Prediction of central nervous system embryonal tumour outcome based on gene expression (2046 citations)
  • Expression of c-fos protein in brain: metabolic mapping at the cellular level (1780 citations)

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

Tom Curran mainly investigates Molecular biology, Cell biology, Transcription factor, Gene and DAB1. His Molecular biology study incorporates themes from Gene expression, DNA, Transfection, Peptide sequence and Binding site. The study incorporates disciplines such as Regulation of gene expression and Messenger RNA in addition to Gene expression.

His Cell biology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Glutamate receptor, Nuclear protein, Programmed cell death and Cerebellum. His research in Transcription factor intersects with topics in Transcription and Activator. His work in DAB1 addresses subjects such as Reeler, which are connected to disciplines such as Cajal–Retzius cell and Cerebral cortex.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Molecular biology (29.76%)
  • Cell biology (29.27%)
  • Transcription factor (17.56%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2001-2020)?

  • Cancer research (8.29%)
  • Cell biology (29.27%)
  • Medulloblastoma (7.32%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Cancer research, Cell biology, Medulloblastoma, DAB1 and Immunology. His study in Cancer research is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Cancer cell, Rb1 gene, Mutant and Sonic hedgehog, Signal transduction. The concepts of his Cell biology study are interwoven with issues in Genetics, Endocrinology, Carcinogenesis, Internal medicine and ETS transcription factor family.

The various areas that Tom Curran examines in his Medulloblastoma study include Cancer, Retinal progenitor, Hedgehog signaling pathway and Gene expression profiling. His research integrates issues of Reeler and Signal transducing adaptor protein, Phosphorylation in his study of DAB1. His research investigates the connection with Molecular biology and areas like Human embryogenesis which intersect with concerns in Gene expression.

Between 2001 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Prediction of central nervous system embryonal tumour outcome based on gene expression (2046 citations)
  • Radial glia cells are candidate stem cells of ependymoma (658 citations)
  • Genomics Identifies Medulloblastoma Subgroups That Are Enriched for Specific Genetic Alterations (541 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

Tom Curran focuses on Cancer research, Medulloblastoma, Sonic hedgehog, Gene expression profiling and Signal transduction. Tom Curran has included themes like Phosphorylation, Tyrosine phosphorylation, Pathology and Reelin, Reeler in his Cancer research study. The study incorporates disciplines such as Cancer and In vivo in addition to Medulloblastoma.

His studies deal with areas such as Carcinogenesis and Smoothened as well as Sonic hedgehog. His Gene expression profiling study is within the categories of Gene expression, Gene and Genetics. His Cell biology research includes elements of Suppressor and Endocrinology.
