Author Information
Christopher Paul Ponting is a distinguished researcher affiliated with the MRC Human Genetics Unit at The Institute of Genetics and Molecular Medicine, University of Edinburgh. His work is primarily based at the Western General Hospital, Crewe Road, in Edinburgh, UK. Dr. Ponting's research interests are deeply rooted in genetics, where he has made substantial contributions to understanding genetic factors in human diseases and developmental processes.Research Contributions
Dr. Ponting has made significant contributions to the field of genetics, with a particular focus on the genetic control mechanisms and their implications for human health. In recent years, his research has explored diverse areas such as the maturation of ependymal cells in response to spinal cord injury, the genetic regulation of KRAB-ZFP genes, and the implications of these on CpG-site methylation associated with human disease phenotypes. Furthermore, he has delved into the mapping of the human cardiac endothelium and factors influencing critical illness from COVID-19 through whole genome sequencing. His work is characterized by its innovative approaches and pivotal findings that have advanced our understanding of genetic influences on health and disease.Aliases
Throughout his career, Christopher Paul Ponting has been known by several aliases, including C Ponting, Chris Ponting, C. Ponting, Chris P Ponting, and Chris P. Ponting among others. These variations of his name may appear across different publications and databases.Publication and Citation Metrics
