Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • DNA

Akhil B. Vaidya mostly deals with Genome, Biochemistry, Gene, Plasmodium falciparum and Genetics. His work is dedicated to discovering how Genome, Mitochondrial DNA are connected with Cell biology, DNA sequencing, DNA and Ribosomal RNA and other disciplines. His Biochemistry research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Chloroquine, Apicomplexa and Atovaquone/proguanil.

His Gene study frequently draws connections to other fields, such as Pregnancy-associated malaria. His research integrates issues of Genomics, Proteome and Plasmodium berghei in his study of Plasmodium falciparum. His Mitochondrion research integrates issues from Atovaquone, Cytochrome b and Plasmodium yoelii.

His most cited work include:

  • Genome sequence of the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum (3623 citations)
  • Genome sequence and comparative analysis of the model rodent malaria parasite Plasmodium yoelii yoelii (638 citations)
  • Specific role of mitochondrial electron transport in blood-stage Plasmodium falciparum (355 citations)

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

Akhil B. Vaidya mainly investigates Plasmodium falciparum, Biochemistry, Virology, Gene and Molecular biology. Akhil B. Vaidya has included themes like Pharmacology and Cell biology in his Plasmodium falciparum study. He focuses mostly in the field of Virology, narrowing it down to matters related to Antigen and, in some cases, Antibody.

To a larger extent, Akhil B. Vaidya studies Genetics with the aim of understanding Gene. His Molecular biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in RNA, Nucleic acid thermodynamics, Enzyme, Mammary tumor virus and Homology. As a member of one scientific family, Akhil B. Vaidya mostly works in the field of Genome, focusing on Mitochondrial DNA and, on occasion, Ribosomal RNA.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Plasmodium falciparum (52.13%)
  • Biochemistry (29.79%)
  • Virology (22.34%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2019)?

  • Plasmodium falciparum (52.13%)
  • Biochemistry (29.79%)
  • Cell biology (13.83%)

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

Akhil B. Vaidya spends much of his time researching Plasmodium falciparum, Biochemistry, Cell biology, Pharmacology and Malaria. His Plasmodium falciparum study focuses on Gametocyte in particular. His work on Tricarboxylic acid metabolism, ATP synthase and Cytochrome c oxidase is typically connected to Identification and Mitochondrial proteome as part of general Biochemistry study, connecting several disciplines of science.

Akhil B. Vaidya works mostly in the field of Cell biology, limiting it down to topics relating to Plasmodium and, in certain cases, CRISPR, NADH dehydrogenase, Microbiology, Ribosomal protein and Mitochondrial DNA. His study in the fields of Prodrug under the domain of Pharmacology overlaps with other disciplines such as ELQ-300. His study in Malaria is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Coenzyme Q – cytochrome c reductase and Drug resistance.

Between 2013 and 2019, his most popular works were:

  • Functional Profiling of a Plasmodium Genome Reveals an Abundance of Essential Genes (260 citations)
  • The heme biosynthesis pathway is essential for Plasmodium falciparum development in mosquito stage but not in blood stages. (90 citations)
  • Genetic Investigation of Tricarboxylic Acid Metabolism during the Plasmodium falciparum Life Cycle (85 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • DNA

Akhil B. Vaidya focuses on Plasmodium falciparum, Biochemistry, Pharmacology, Gametocyte and Genome evolution. His work on Hemozoin as part of his general Plasmodium falciparum study is frequently connected to Anopheles stephensi, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. The various areas that Akhil B. Vaidya examines in his Pharmacology study include Atovaquone, Multiple drug resistance, Malaria and Rational design.

His research in Gametocyte intersects with topics in Oral administration, Prodrug, Absorption and Dosing. His Genome evolution research also covers Genetics and Genome studies. His study in Genetic redundancy and Gene is done as part of Genetics.
