Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Internal medicine

Valina L. Dawson mostly deals with Cell biology, Programmed cell death, Molecular biology, Nitric oxide and Biochemistry. Her work carried out in the field of Cell biology brings together such families of science as Substantia nigra, Genetics, Ubiquitin and Alpha-synuclein. Her work deals with themes such as Neuroscience and Mitochondrion, which intersect with Programmed cell death.

Her Neuroscience research includes elements of Disease and Pathology. Valina L. Dawson combines subjects such as Neurodegeneration, LRRK2, Peroxidase, Cysteine metabolism and Poly ADP ribose polymerase with her study of Molecular biology. Her Nitric oxide research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Glutamate receptor, Neurotoxicity and Neurotransmitter.

Her most cited work include:

  • Guidelines for the use and interpretation of assays for monitoring autophagy (3rd edition) (4475 citations)
  • Neurotoxic reactive astrocytes are induced by activated microglia (2494 citations)
  • Nitric oxide mediates glutamate neurotoxicity in primary cortical cultures. (2039 citations)

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

Valina L. Dawson mostly deals with Cell biology, Neuroscience, Parkinson's disease, Nitric oxide and Neurodegeneration. The study incorporates disciplines such as Synaptic plasticity, Programmed cell death and Alpha-synuclein in addition to Cell biology. In her study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Programmed cell death, Molecular biology, DNA damage and Ischemia is strongly linked to Poly ADP ribose polymerase.

Her Parkinson's disease study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Dopamine and Pathogenesis. Her research in Nitric oxide intersects with topics in Neurotoxicity and Biochemistry. Her research in Neurodegeneration focuses on subjects like LRRK2, which are connected to Kinase.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Cell biology (30.80%)
  • Neuroscience (22.34%)
  • Parkinson's disease (20.39%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Parkinson's disease (20.39%)
  • Cell biology (30.80%)
  • Neurodegeneration (17.14%)

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

Her primary scientific interests are in Parkinson's disease, Cell biology, Neurodegeneration, Neuroscience and Programmed cell death. The Parkinson's disease study combines topics in areas such as Dopaminergic, Dopamine and Pathogenesis. Her Cell biology research incorporates themes from Receptor, Neuron and Alpha-synuclein.

In her research, Glucocerebrosidase is intimately related to Mitochondrion, which falls under the overarching field of Neurodegeneration. She has researched Neuroscience in several fields, including Gene and Transplantation. Her Programmed cell death research incorporates elements of Autophagy, Macrophage migration inhibitory factor and Poly ADP ribose polymerase.

Between 2014 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Guidelines for the use and interpretation of assays for monitoring autophagy (3rd edition) (4475 citations)
  • Neurotoxic reactive astrocytes are induced by activated microglia (2494 citations)
  • Molecular mechanisms of cell death: recommendations of the Nomenclature Committee on Cell Death 2018. (1747 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Internal medicine

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Parkinson's disease, Neurodegeneration, Cell biology, Neuroscience and Programmed cell death. Particularly relevant to Parkin is her body of work in Parkinson's disease. Her study ties her expertise on Mitochondrion together with the subject of Neurodegeneration.

Her Cell biology study often links to related topics such as Priming. Her study in the fields of Pars compacta and Neuroprotection under the domain of Neuroscience overlaps with other disciplines such as Cellular bioenergetics and Experimental methods. Her Programmed cell death research includes themes of Autophagy, Molecular biology and Poly ADP ribose polymerase.
