Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Internal medicine
  • Immune system

Alain Fischer focuses on Immunology, Immunodeficiency, Transplantation, Severe combined immunodeficiency and Internal medicine. In most of his Immunology studies, his work intersects topics such as Genetic enhancement. His studies deal with areas such as Ectodermal dysplasia, Phenotype, X-linked lymphoproliferative disease, Nonsense mutation and ORAI1 as well as Immunodeficiency.

Alain Fischer has included themes like Stem cell and Histocompatibility in his Transplantation study. His Severe combined immunodeficiency research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Cancer research, Disease, Bone marrow and Virology. His studies in Internal medicine integrate themes in fields like Gastroenterology, Endocrinology and Surgery.

His most cited work include:

  • LMO2-associated clonal T cell proliferation in two patients after gene therapy for SCID-X1. (3006 citations)
  • Gene therapy of human severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID)-X1 disease (2298 citations)
  • A Serious Adverse Event after Successful Gene Therapy for X-Linked Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (1589 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Immunology, Transplantation, Severe combined immunodeficiency, Immunodeficiency and Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. His research in Immunology intersects with topics in Genetic enhancement and Stem cell. The concepts of his Genetic enhancement study are interwoven with issues in Combined immunodeficiencies and Bioinformatics.

The Severe combined immunodeficiency study combines topics in areas such as Cancer research, Bone marrow and Virology. His study focuses on the intersection of T cell and fields such as Molecular biology with connections in the field of Cytotoxic T cell, Somatic hypermutation, DNA repair, Genetics and Immunoglobulin class switching. The various areas that Alain Fischer examines in his Immune system study include Gene and Lymphocyte.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Immunology (74.70%)
  • Transplantation (20.88%)
  • Severe combined immunodeficiency (21.22%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Immunology (74.70%)
  • Immune system (17.79%)
  • Pediatrics (7.18%)

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

Alain Fischer spends much of his time researching Immunology, Immune system, Pediatrics, T cell and Internal medicine. His research investigates the connection between Immunology and topics such as Phenotype that intersect with problems in Mutation. As a part of the same scientific family, Alain Fischer mostly works in the field of Immune system, focusing on Myeloid and, on occasion, Common variable immunodeficiency.

Alain Fischer has researched Pediatrics in several fields, including Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, Retrospective cohort study, Intensive care and Primary immunodeficiency. His research in Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation tackles topics such as Severe combined immunodeficiency which are related to areas like Stem cell. His T cell research incorporates themes from B cell, Cancer research, Cell growth and Germline.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Impaired type I interferon activity and inflammatory responses in severe COVID-19 patients. (689 citations)
  • Impaired type I interferon activity and inflammatory responses in severe COVID-19 patients. (689 citations)
  • Impaired type I interferon activity and inflammatory responses in severe COVID-19 patients. (689 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Internal medicine
  • Immune system

Alain Fischer mainly investigates Immunology, Immune system, T cell, Internal medicine and Interferon. Immunology and Germline mutation are commonly linked in his work. His work deals with themes such as Osteopetrosis, Hematopoietic stem cell and Single Center, which intersect with Immune system.

His T cell research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Cancer research, X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency, Genetic enhancement, Progenitor cell and Lymphocyte. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Gene mutation and Copy-number variation. Alain Fischer focuses mostly in the field of Interferon, narrowing it down to topics relating to Tumor necrosis factor alpha and, in certain cases, Alpha interferon, Viral load, Interleukin 6, Inflammation and Chemokine.
