Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Cell membrane
  • Biochemistry

Winchil L.C. Vaz focuses on Lipid bilayer, Membrane, Bilayer, Analytical chemistry and Biological membrane. The study incorporates disciplines such as Phospholipid, Fluorescence recovery after photobleaching and Phase in addition to Lipid bilayer. In his work, Membrane fluidity, Crystallography and Structural biology is strongly intertwined with Biophysics, which is a subfield of Membrane.

His Bilayer study combines topics in areas such as Liquid paraffin, Micellar solutions, Excimer and Ether. His work is dedicated to discovering how Analytical chemistry, Lipid bilayer phase behavior are connected with Integral membrane protein and other disciplines. His research integrates issues of Lipid raft, Membrane protein and Membrane lipids in his study of Biological membrane.

His most cited work include:

  • Model systems, lipid rafts, and cell membranes. (1334 citations)
  • Lateral diffusion in the liquid phases of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine/cholesterol lipid bilayers: a free volume analysis. (466 citations)
  • Translational diffusion of lipids in liquid crystalline phase phosphatidylcholine multibilayers. A comparison of experiment with theory. (242 citations)

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

Winchil L.C. Vaz mainly investigates Lipid bilayer, Membrane, Bilayer, Analytical chemistry and Biophysics. His Lipid bilayer research includes themes of Fluorescence recovery after photobleaching, Phospholipid and Phase. His Membrane study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Chromatography and Stereochemistry.

His study in Bilayer is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Crystallography and Mole fraction. His Biophysics research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Liposome, Synthetic membrane, Lateral diffusion, Vesicle and Membrane fluidity. His research investigates the link between Biological membrane and topics such as Lipid raft that cross with problems in Membrane protein and Liquid ordered phase.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Lipid bilayer (55.65%)
  • Membrane (40.87%)
  • Bilayer (33.91%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2021)?

  • Lipid bilayer (55.65%)
  • Cholesterol (8.70%)
  • Membrane (40.87%)

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

Winchil L.C. Vaz spends much of his time researching Lipid bilayer, Cholesterol, Membrane, Solubility and POPC. He regularly ties together related areas like Dipole in his Lipid bilayer studies. His Cholesterol research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Chromatography, Micelle, Homeostasis and Fatty acid.

The concepts of his Membrane study are interwoven with issues in Partition coefficient and Stereochemistry. His work deals with themes such as Crystallography, Homologous series and Biological membrane, which intersect with POPC. Winchil L.C. Vaz usually deals with Biological membrane and limits it to topics linked to Phospholipid and Bilayer, Reaction rate constant and Liposome.

Between 2009 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Cholesterol and POPC segmental order parameters in lipid membranes: solid state 1H–13C NMR and MD simulation studies (98 citations)
  • In Vitro Surfactant Structure-Toxicity Relationships: Implications for Surfactant Use in Sexually Transmitted Infection Prophylaxis and Contraception (77 citations)
  • Mitochondrial Dysfunction is the Focus of Quaternary Ammonium Surfactant Toxicity to Mammalian Epithelial Cells (41 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Biochemistry
  • Cell membrane

Winchil L.C. Vaz mostly deals with Membrane, Lipid bilayer, POPC, Toxicity and Homologous series. The Membrane study combines topics in areas such as Partition coefficient, Stereochemistry and Isothermal titration calorimetry. His studies deal with areas such as Biophysics, Phospholipid, Membrane fluidity and Sterol as well as Stereochemistry.

His work in Lipid bilayer is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses Biological membrane. His Biological membrane study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Crystallography, Bovine serum albumin, Serum albumin and Alkyl. His Toxicity research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Critical micelle concentration, Biochemistry, Cell growth and Antimicrobial.
