Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • DNA

Wolfgang Driever mainly focuses on Zebrafish, Cell biology, Genetics, Morphogenesis and Mutant. He has researched Zebrafish in several fields, including Catecholaminergic, Anatomy, Molecular biology, Mutagenesis and Genetic screen. He has included themes like Paraxial mesoderm, Endocrinology, Wnt signaling pathway and Nocodazole in his Cell biology study.

His research investigates the link between Genetics and topics such as Retina that cross with problems in Eye development and Retinal. The various areas that Wolfgang Driever examines in his Morphogenesis study include Atrium, Gastrulation, Endocardium and Contractility. Wolfgang Driever has included themes like Chondrogenesis, Endoderm, Ventricle, Neural crest and Danio in his Mutant study.

His most cited work include:

  • Vesicular stomatitis virus G glycoprotein pseudotyped retroviral vectors: concentration to very high titer and efficient gene transfer into mammalian and nonmammalian cells (1321 citations)
  • A genetic screen for mutations affecting embryogenesis in zebrafish (1166 citations)
  • A gradient of bicoid protein in Drosophila embryos (832 citations)

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

Wolfgang Driever mainly investigates Zebrafish, Cell biology, Genetics, Neuroscience and Molecular biology. The concepts of his Zebrafish study are interwoven with issues in Hindbrain, Embryo, Gastrulation, Mutant and Anatomy. His studies in Cell biology integrate themes in fields like Endocrinology, NODAL, Endoderm and Mesoderm.

Wolfgang Driever focuses mostly in the field of Neuroscience, narrowing it down to topics relating to Transcription factor and, in certain cases, Regulation of gene expression. In Molecular biology, he works on issues like Embryonic stem cell, which are connected to Mutagenesis. Wolfgang Driever focuses mostly in the field of Drosophila embryogenesis, narrowing it down to matters related to Drosophila Protein and, in some cases, Gap gene.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Zebrafish (67.48%)
  • Cell biology (44.79%)
  • Genetics (30.67%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2020)?

  • Zebrafish (67.48%)
  • Cell biology (44.79%)
  • Neuroscience (19.63%)

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

His primary areas of study are Zebrafish, Cell biology, Neuroscience, Gastrulation and Dopaminergic. His Zebrafish study is associated with Genetics. His Cell biology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Cadherin, Cell, Cell adhesion and microRNA.

His Neuroscience research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Vertebrate embryo and Anatomy. The Blastula and Epiboly research Wolfgang Driever does as part of his general Gastrulation study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Chemotaxis, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. His Dopaminergic research incorporates elements of Genetic screen, Catecholaminergic cell groups, Catecholaminergic and Hindbrain.

Between 2012 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Pou5f1 Transcription Factor Controls Zygotic Gene Activation In Vertebrates (156 citations)
  • Functional Architecture of an Optic Flow-Responsive Area that Drives Horizontal Eye Movements in Zebrafish (106 citations)
  • Pou5f1-Dependent EGF Expression Controls E-Cadherin Endocytosis, Cell Adhesion, and Zebrafish Epiboly Movements (71 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genetics

His primary areas of investigation include Zebrafish, Cell biology, Neuroscience, Dopaminergic and Cell adhesion. His Zebrafish study necessitates a more in-depth grasp of Genetics. His research integrates issues of Homeobox and Cell type in his study of Cell biology.

His work on Catecholaminergic as part of general Neuroscience study is frequently connected to Glutamatergic, gamma-Aminobutyric acid and GABAergic, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them. His Dopaminergic research includes themes of Lateral line, Stimulus, Adequate stimulus and Catecholaminergic cell groups. Within one scientific family, Wolfgang Driever focuses on topics pertaining to Cadherin under Cell adhesion, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Cancer research, Blastoderm, microRNA, Morphogenesis and Epithelial cell adhesion molecule.
