Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Cancer
  • DNA

Zdenko Herceg focuses on Epigenetics, DNA methylation, Genetics, Cancer and Cell biology. The concepts of his Epigenetics study are interwoven with issues in Bioinformatics and Epigenome. His DNA methylation research includes elements of Cancer research, Methylation and Genome-wide association study.

Zdenko Herceg specializes in Genetics, namely Epigenomics. His research in Cancer intersects with topics in Gene silencing and Parthenolide. His studies deal with areas such as Cell growth, Chromatin, Poly ADP ribose polymerase, DNA repair and Programmed cell death as well as Cell biology.

His most cited work include:

  • Histone acetylation by Trrap–Tip60 modulates loading of repair proteins and repair of DNA double-strand breaks (471 citations)
  • Epigenetic interplay between histone modifications and DNA methylation in gene silencing (462 citations)
  • DNA Methylation in Newborns and Maternal Smoking in Pregnancy: Genome-wide Consortium Meta-analysis (419 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are DNA methylation, Epigenetics, Methylation, Cancer research and Cancer. His research integrates issues of Pregnancy and Internal medicine in his study of DNA methylation. His work carried out in the field of Epigenetics brings together such families of science as Bioinformatics, Cancer cell, Carcinogenesis, Histone and Epigenome.

His work investigates the relationship between Histone and topics such as DNA repair that intersect with problems in Molecular biology and DNA damage. The study incorporates disciplines such as Genome, Physiology and Pathology in addition to Methylation. Within one scientific family, Zdenko Herceg focuses on topics pertaining to Cell biology under Genetics, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Histone acetyltransferase.

He most often published in these fields:

  • DNA methylation (50.61%)
  • Epigenetics (44.90%)
  • Methylation (24.90%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • DNA methylation (50.61%)
  • Epigenetics (44.90%)
  • Epigenome (14.29%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in DNA methylation, Epigenetics, Epigenome, Methylation and CpG site. Zdenko Herceg has researched DNA methylation in several fields, including Genome, Meta-analysis, Internal medicine, Case-control study and Genetic association. His Epigenetics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Carcinogenesis, Pregnancy, Cancer research and Bioinformatics.

His Cancer research course of study focuses on Cancer and Non-coding RNA. Zdenko Herceg has included themes like Chromatin and Environmental health in his Epigenome study. His study looks at the intersection of CpG site and topics like DNA with Human mitochondrial genetics.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Carcinogenicity of night shift work (64 citations)
  • Meta-analysis of epigenome-wide association studies in neonates reveals widespread differential DNA methylation associated with birthweight (42 citations)
  • Human mitochondrial DNA is extensively methylated in a non-CpG context. (38 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Cancer
  • DNA

His scientific interests lie mostly in Epigenetics, DNA methylation, Pregnancy, Epigenome and CpG site. His Epigenetics study is associated with Gene. DNA methylation connects with themes related to Methylation in his study.

His work focuses on many connections between Pregnancy and other disciplines, such as Physiology, that overlap with his field of interest in Gestational age, Cord blood, Fetus and Human genetics. In his work, Epigenesis and Epigenomics is strongly intertwined with Environmental health, which is a subfield of Epigenome. His work deals with themes such as Genome-wide association study, Bioinformatics, Case-control study, Differentially methylated regions and Type 2 diabetes, which intersect with CpG site.
