Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Immune system
  • Genetics

His primary areas of investigation include Immunology, Schistosoma mansoni, Gene, Antigen and Genetics. Immunology and Allele are frequently intertwined in his study. His Allele research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of IL-2 receptor, Human parasite, Leishmania braziliensis, Genotype and FOXP3.

His research in Schistosoma mansoni intersects with topics in Fibrosis, Hepatic fibrosis, Trematoda and Immunoglobulin E. His work in the fields of Antigen, such as Humoral immunity, overlaps with other areas such as Larva. His study focuses on the intersection of Leishmaniasis and fields such as Immune system with connections in the field of Interleukin.

His most cited work include:

  • Genetic localization of a locus controlling the intensity of infection by Schistosoma mansoni on chromosome 5q31-q33 (294 citations)
  • Evidence for an association between human resistance to Schistosoma mansoni and high anti-larval IgE levels. (233 citations)
  • Severe Hepatic Fibrosis in Schistosoma mansoni Infection Is Controlled by a Major Locus That Is Closely Linked to the Interferon-γ Receptor Gene (192 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Immunology, Schistosoma mansoni, Genetics, Fibrosis and Gene. He interconnects Allele and Genotype in the investigation of issues within Immunology. His work in Schistosoma mansoni tackles topics such as Antigen which are related to areas like Antibody.

His Fibrosis research includes elements of Inflammation and Gastroenterology, Liver disease. His Schistosomiasis study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Portal hypertension and Helminthiasis. His Locus research includes themes of Susceptibility gene and Pathogenesis.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Immunology (71.83%)
  • Schistosoma mansoni (27.46%)
  • Genetics (19.01%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2020)?

  • Immunology (71.83%)
  • Fibrosis (19.01%)
  • FOXP3 (7.75%)

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

Immunology, Fibrosis, FOXP3, Genotype and Cutaneous leishmaniasis are his primary areas of study. His Immunology research integrates issues from Single-nucleotide polymorphism and Allele. His Fibrosis research incorporates elements of Inflammation, Cross-sectional study, Schistosomiasis and Gastroenterology.

The FOXP3 study combines topics in areas such as Tumor necrosis factor alpha, Regulation of gene expression, Interferon gamma and Antigen. His work carried out in the field of Genotype brings together such families of science as Odds ratio, Three prime untranslated region and HLA-G. His work carried out in the field of Visceral leishmaniasis brings together such families of science as Molecular biology and Genetic predisposition.

Between 2012 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • IL‐22 and IL‐22 binding protein (IL‐22BP) regulate fibrosis and cirrhosis in hepatitis C virus and schistosome infections (43 citations)
  • FOXP3+ Regulatory T Cells in Hepatic Fibrosis and Splenomegaly Caused by Schistosoma japonicum: The Spleen May Be a Major Source of Tregs in Subjects with Splenomegaly (24 citations)
  • FOXP3+ Regulatory T Cells in Hepatic Fibrosis and Splenomegaly Caused by Schistosoma japonicum: The Spleen May Be a Major Source of Tregs in Subjects with Splenomegaly (24 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Immune system
  • Internal medicine

His main research concerns Immunology, Fibrosis, Inflammation, Hepatic fibrosis and Splenectomy. Alain Dessein performs integrative study on Immunology and Alkylglycerol monooxygenase in his works. His study in Hepatic fibrosis is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Hepatitis C, Pulmonary hypertension and Heart failure.

His Splenectomy research includes elements of Liver disease, Immunophenotyping and FOXP3. His Cerebral Malaria research is multidisciplinary, relying on both SNP, Genetics, Linkage disequilibrium and Genotype. The Immunotherapy study combines topics in areas such as Blockade, Leishmania braziliensis, Leishmaniasis, Cutaneous leishmaniasis and Interleukin 10.
