LA JOLLA\u2014Salk Professors Joanne Chory<\/a>, Joseph Ecker<\/a>, Rusty Gage<\/a>, Reuben Shaw<\/a> und Kay Tye<\/a> have been named to the\u00a0Highly Cited Researchers list<\/a>\u00a0by Clarivate. The list identifies researchers who demonstrate \u201csignificant influence in their chosen field or fields\u00a0through the publication of multiple highly cited papers.\u201d Professors Chory, Ecker and Gage have been named to this list every year since 2014, when the regular annual rankings began. This is Professor Tye\u2019s fourth consecutive time and Professor Shaw\u2019s second consecutive time receiving the designation. Joseph Nery, a research assistant II in the Ecker lab, was also included on the list.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the race for knowledge, it is human capital that is\u00a0fundamental\u00a0and this list identifies and celebrates exceptional individual researchers who are having a great impact on the research community as measured by the rate at which their work is being cited by others,\u201d\u00a0says David Pendlebury, senior citation analyst at the Institute for Scientific Information, part of the Web of Science group at Clarivate.<\/p>\n

Such consistent production of highly cited reports indicates that the work of these researchers has been repeatedly judged by their peers to be of notable significance and utility, as based on data from the Web of Science, the world\u2019s largest publisher-neutral citation index, with almost 1.9 billion cited references going back to 1900. This year\u2019s list, which includes 6,167 researchers from more than 60 countries, recognizes researchers across multiple fields whose citation records position them in the highest ranks of influence.<\/p>\n

Joanne Chory<\/strong>
\nChory is a professor in, and director of, Salk\u2019s Plant Molecular and Cellular Biology Laboratory, a Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator, and holder of the Howard H. and Maryam R. Newman Chair in Plant Biology. Chory has won numerous prestigious awards for her work including the Gruber Genetics Prize and the Breakthrough Prize. She also co-directs Salk\u2019s\u00a0Initiative zur Nutzung von Pflanzen<\/a>\u2014a bold approach to address climate change by optimizing a plant\u2019s natural ability to capture and store carbon and adapt to diverse climate conditions.<\/p>\n

Joseph Ecker<\/strong>
\nEcker is a professor in Salk\u2019s Plant Molecular and Cellular Biology Laboratory, director of the Genomic Analysis Laboratory and a Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator. He is also the Salk International Council Chair in Genetics. He was the first to show that the epigenome is highly dynamic in brain cells during the transition from birth to adulthood. Ecker is the recipient of multiple recent National Institutes of Health BRAIN Initiative grant<\/a>s, and he is charting the epigenetic differences between brain cell types to better understand disorders such as schizophrenia and Alzheimer\u2019s disease.<\/p>\n

Rusty Gage<\/strong>
\nGage, a professor in the Laboratory of Genetics and holder of the Vi and John Adler Chair for Research on Age-Related Neurodegenerative Disease, is the president of the Salk Institute. He discovered that the adult brain continues to produce new neurons throughout the life span in a process known as neurogenesis. Most recently, he, and a team of Salk researchers were awarded an American Heart Association-Allen Initiative in Brain Health<\/a>\u00a0grant to pursue a new collaborative approach to understanding, detecting and potentially treating Alzheimer\u2019s disease and age-related cognitive decline.<\/p>\n

Reuben Shaw<\/strong>
\nShaw, a professor in the Molecular and Cell Biology Laboratory and holder of the William R. Brody Chair, is the director of the Salk Cancer Center, a recipient of the National Cancer Institute Outstanding Investigator Award, and leads Salk\u2019s Initiative zur \u00dcberwindung von Krebs<\/a>. He discovered direct connections between cancer and metabolism and continues to work on how nutrient deprivation and cellular energy levels control cancer and other diseases.<\/p>\n

Kay Tye<\/strong>
\nTye is a professor in Salk\u2019s Systems Neurobiology Laboratory and holder of the Wylie Vale Chair. She\u00a0seeks to understand the neural-circuit basis of emotion that leads to motivated behaviors such as social interaction, reward-seeking and avoidance. Last year, she published a seminal paper describing her\u00a0discovery of a brain circuit that controls alcohol drinking<\/a>\u00a0behavior in mice and can be used as a biomarker for predicting the development of compulsive drinking later on. This year, she published work furthering her investigation on the neural circuits associated with the experience of loneliness.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","faculty":[83,42,326,45,76],"disease-research":[],"class_list":["post-28745","disclosure","type-disclosure","status-publish","hentry","faculty-joanne-chory","faculty-joseph-ecker","faculty-kay-tye","faculty-reuben-shaw","faculty-rusty-gage"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nFive Salk professors named among most highly cited researchers in the world - Salk Institute for Biological Studies<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.salk.edu\/de\/news-release\/five-salk-professors-named-among-most-highly-cited-researchers-in-the-world\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"de_DE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Five Salk professors named among most highly cited researchers in the world - Salk Institute for Biological Studies\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"LA JOLLA\u2014Salk Professors Joanne Chory, Joseph Ecker, Rusty Gage, Reuben Shaw and Kay Tye have been named to the\u00a0Highly Cited Researchers list\u00a0by Clarivate.
