Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Internal medicine

William A. Harris spends much of his time researching Xenopus, Cell biology, Neuroscience, Retina and Neuroepithelial cell. His Xenopus research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Tectum, Transcription factor, Cell fate determination and Anatomy. His Anatomy study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Electrophysiology and Neuron.

William A. Harris has researched Cell biology in several fields, including Embryonic stem cell, Cellular differentiation, Cell type and Cell division. The concepts of his Neuroscience study are interwoven with issues in Neurulation, Neural tube, Neural plate and Neural development. His Retina research includes elements of Neurogenesis, NeuroD and Axon.

His most cited work include:

  • A critical window for cooperation and competition among developing retinotectal synapses (738 citations)
  • Binocular impulse blockade prevents the formation of ocular dominance columns in cat visual cortex (591 citations)
  • Cellular determination in the xenopus retina is independent of lineage and birth date (575 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Cell biology, Neuroscience, Retina, Xenopus and Zebrafish. His study in Cell biology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Genetics, Cellular differentiation, Anatomy and Retinal ganglion. He focuses mostly in the field of Neuroscience, narrowing it down to topics relating to Neural development and, in certain cases, Neural plate.

His studies examine the connections between Retina and genetics, as well as such issues in Cell type, with regards to Notch signaling pathway. His Xenopus research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Phenotype, Retinal ganglion cell, NeuroD, Molecular biology and Cell fate determination. His Zebrafish study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Lineage, Muller glia, Mitosis, Interkinetic nuclear migration and Process.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Cell biology (48.56%)
  • Neuroscience (37.45%)
  • Retina (34.98%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2020)?

  • Cell biology (48.56%)
  • Zebrafish (18.93%)
  • Retina (34.98%)

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

Cell biology, Zebrafish, Retina, Neuroscience and Progenitor cell are his primary areas of study. His work carried out in the field of Cell biology brings together such families of science as Anatomy and Retinal ganglion. He has included themes like Regulation of gene expression and Interkinetic nuclear migration, Neuroepithelial cell in his Zebrafish study.

The various areas that William A. Harris examines in his Retina study include Genetics, Cellular differentiation, Retinal, Cell division and Cell type. His Cellular differentiation research includes themes of Neurogenesis and Embryonic stem cell. His study in the fields of Nervous system under the domain of Neuroscience overlaps with other disciplines such as Competence.

Between 2010 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • How variable clones build an invariant retina. (158 citations)
  • Metabolism in physiological cell proliferation and differentiation (139 citations)
  • Late Endosomes Act as mRNA Translation Platforms and Sustain Mitochondria in Axons. (123 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Internal medicine

William A. Harris focuses on Cell biology, Retina, Zebrafish, Cellular differentiation and Neuroscience. His Cell biology research incorporates elements of Genetics and Retinal ganglion. His Retinal ganglion research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Neurogenesis, Xenopus, Synapse and Synaptogenesis.

His Retina research incorporates themes from Eye development, Cell division and Anatomy. His study in Cellular differentiation is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Progenitor cell and Embryonic stem cell. His research integrates issues of Neural development, Retinal and Cell fate determination in his study of Neuroscience.
