He has published over 600 papers and holds 22 patents in the fields of gene regulation, molecular endocrinology and steroid receptors and transcriptional coactivators. His work on molecular mechanisms of steroid receptor coactivators has great relevance to genetic and reproductive diseases, disorders of metabolism and diabetes, and especially, cancers. He is considered as the 'father of molecular endocrinology' and has received over 60 awards/prizes for his scientific achievements in this field. He was awarded the National Medal of Science by U.S. President George W. Bush on September 29, 2008.
