Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Apoptosis

His primary scientific interests are in Ceramide, Biochemistry, Cell biology, Sphingolipid and Lipid signaling. His Ceramide research includes themes of Phosphatase, Programmed cell death, Sphingomyelin and Second messenger system. His work on Function expands to the thematically related Biochemistry.

His work focuses on many connections between Cell biology and other disciplines, such as Cell, that overlap with his field of interest in Ceramide synthase 2. His Sphingolipid research incorporates elements of Endocrinology, Internal medicine, Metabolism, Yeast and Serine C-palmitoyltransferase. His studies deal with areas such as Cell cycle checkpoint, Cell cycle, Molecular biology, Endogeny and Ceramidase as well as Lipid signaling.

His most cited work include:

  • Principles of bioactive lipid signalling: lessons from sphingolipids (2237 citations)
  • Programmed cell death induced by ceramide (1524 citations)
  • Functions of Ceramide in Coordinating Cellular Responses to Stress (1477 citations)

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

Ceramide, Biochemistry, Cell biology, Sphingolipid and Sphingomyelin are his primary areas of study. As part of the same scientific family, Yusuf A. Hannun usually focuses on Ceramide, concentrating on Lipid signaling and intersecting with Phosphatase. His Biochemistry research focuses on Protein kinase C, Enzyme, Second messenger system, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Ceramidase.

His work deals with themes such as Tumor necrosis factor alpha, Cell and Cell growth, which intersect with Cell biology. His Sphingolipid research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Cell signaling, Sphingosine, Cancer cell, Serine C-palmitoyltransferase and Internal medicine. As a part of the same scientific study, he usually deals with the Apoptosis, concentrating on Cancer research and frequently concerns with Acid Ceramidase, Prostate cancer and Immunology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ceramide (54.88%)
  • Biochemistry (48.81%)
  • Cell biology (44.69%)

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

  • Sphingolipid (35.14%)
  • Ceramide (54.88%)
  • Cell biology (44.69%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Sphingolipid, Ceramide, Cell biology, Biochemistry and Sphingomyelin. His Sphingolipid study combines topics in areas such as Cancer research, Sphingosine, Downregulation and upregulation, Immunology and Signal transduction. His studies examine the connections between Sphingosine and genetics, as well as such issues in Endocrinology, with regards to Pharmacological chaperone.

His Ceramide study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Sphingosine kinase, Sphingosine-1-phosphate and Enzyme. His study looks at the relationship between Cell biology and topics such as Cell growth, which overlap with Cancer cell. His Sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase study in the realm of Sphingomyelin connects with subjects such as Identification.

Between 2009 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • An overview of sphingolipid metabolism: from synthesis to breakdown. (535 citations)
  • Ceramide synthases at the centre of sphingolipid metabolism and biology (286 citations)
  • Blood sphingolipidomics in healthy humans: impact of sample collection methodology. (205 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Amino acid

Yusuf A. Hannun mainly focuses on Sphingolipid, Biochemistry, Ceramide, Cell biology and Sphingomyelin. The study incorporates disciplines such as Symbiotic bacteria, Nucleotide salvage, Downregulation and upregulation and Sphingolipid metabolism in addition to Sphingolipid. His study on Signal transduction, Metabolism, Arabidopsis and Yeast is often connected to Plant composition as part of broader study in Biochemistry.

His Ceramide research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Sphingosine, Lipid signaling, Enzyme and Mitochondrion. His Cell biology study incorporates themes from Corpus albicans, Defensin, Plant defensin and Hyphal growth. His Sphingomyelin research includes elements of Sphingosine kinase, Endocrinology, Endoplasmic reticulum and Internal medicine.
