2015 - National Institutes of Health Director's Pioneer Award
His primary areas of investigation include Cell biology, Cytoskeleton, MreB, Actin and Prokaryotic cytoskeleton. His research in Cell biology intersects with topics in Multicellular organism, Actin cytoskeleton and Bacterial cell structure, Bacteria. He combines subjects such as Caulobacter crescentus, Eukaryotic cell, Intracellular and DNA with his study of Cytoskeleton.
His Caulobacter crescentus study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Enzyme, Intermediate filament and Cell polarity. The various areas that Zemer Gitai examines in his Actin study include Circular bacterial chromosome, ParABS system and Chromosome segregation. His studies deal with areas such as myr, Actin-binding protein and Netrin, Axon guidance, Axon as well as Cytoplasm.
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Cell biology, Biophysics, MreB, Bacteria and Caulobacter crescentus. His Cell biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Cell, FtsZ, Cytoskeleton and DNA. The Biophysics study combines topics in areas such as Protein filament, Cell shape and Bacterial cell structure.
His MreB research integrates issues from Crystallography, Peptidoglycan, Cell wall, Morphogenesis and Actin. His Actin study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Crescentin and Cell growth. His Bacteria research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Pilus, Virulence and Microbiology.
Zemer Gitai mainly investigates Bacteria, Pilus, Virulence, Biophysics and Microbiology. His research integrates issues of Pathogen and Cell shape in his study of Bacteria. His work carried out in the field of Virulence brings together such families of science as Periplasmic space, Biological system, Model organism and Cell biology.
In his research, Amino acid, Mutant and Actin is intimately related to Cell, which falls under the overarching field of Cell biology. The study incorporates disciplines such as Full extension and Competitive binding in addition to Biophysics. Zemer Gitai combines subjects such as Gram-negative bacteria and Acinetobacter baumannii with his study of Microbiology.
Zemer Gitai spends much of his time researching Bacteria, Virulence, Chemostat, Competition and Context. Zemer Gitai has researched Bacteria in several fields, including Piwi-interacting RNA and Microbiology. His study in Virulence is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Periplasmic space, Biological system and Cell shape.
His Chemostat investigation overlaps with other disciplines such as Biochemical engineering, Trade offs, Set and Fitness landscape.
