Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Virus
  • Internal medicine
  • Gene

Albert Heim spends much of his time researching Virology, Internal medicine, Transplantation, Immunology and Virus. His study in Virology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Adenoviridae, Mastadenovirus and Genome. His studies in Internal medicine integrate themes in fields like Gastroenterology and Intensive care medicine.

His Transplantation study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Hepatitis B and Aciclovir. His research investigates the connection between Immunology and topics such as Hepatitis E that intersect with issues in Case-control study. The study incorporates disciplines such as Molecular biology, Pathogen and Whole genome sequencing in addition to Virus.

His most cited work include:

  • Rapid and quantitative detection of human adenovirus DNA by real-time PCR. (662 citations)
  • Evidence of molecular evolution driven by recombination events influencing tropism in a novel human adenovirus that causes epidemic keratoconjunctivitis. (179 citations)
  • Risk groups for clinical complications of norovirus infections: an outbreak investigation. (169 citations)

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

Albert Heim focuses on Virology, Immunology, Virus, Internal medicine and Transplantation. As a part of the same scientific family, Albert Heim mostly works in the field of Virology, focusing on Real-time polymerase chain reaction and, on occasion, Molecular biology. His research in Immunology tackles topics such as Myocarditis which are related to areas like Interferon.

His Virus study incorporates themes from Cell culture, Polymerase chain reaction and Respiratory system. His Internal medicine research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Gastroenterology, Intensive care medicine, Surgery and Cardiology. In his study, Disease is inextricably linked to Stem cell, which falls within the broad field of Transplantation.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Virology (51.81%)
  • Immunology (28.31%)
  • Virus (21.08%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Virology (51.81%)
  • Gene (7.23%)
  • Immunosuppression (6.02%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Virology, Gene, Immunosuppression, Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 and Human cytomegalovirus. In his research, Real-time polymerase chain reaction is intimately related to Coronavirus disease 2019, which falls under the overarching field of Virology. Albert Heim has researched Immunosuppression in several fields, including Intensive care unit, Cohort and Hazard ratio.

His Human cytomegalovirus study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Antiviral protein, RNA, Antiviral resistance and DNA virus. As part of one scientific family, Albert Heim deals mainly with the area of Antiviral protein, narrowing it down to issues related to the Gene expression, and often Virus. His study in the field of Respiratory virus also crosses realms of Influenzavirus.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Molecular Evolution of Human Adenovirus (HAdV) Species C. (41 citations)
  • Rapid random access detection of the novel SARS-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2, previously 2019-nCoV) using an open access protocol for the Panther Fusion (39 citations)
  • A Zoonotic Adenoviral Human Pathogen Emerged through Genomic Recombination among Human and Nonhuman Simian Hosts (11 citations)

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

  • Virus
  • Internal medicine
  • Gene

Albert Heim mostly deals with Coronavirus, Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, Gene, Molecular evolution and Genome. Albert Heim has included themes like Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus and Real-time polymerase chain reaction in his Coronavirus study. The concepts of his Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 study are interwoven with issues in Virology, Pandemic, Haplotype, Biological dispersal and DNA sequencing.

His Gene study contributes to a more complete understanding of Genetics. His studies deal with areas such as Pathogen, Typing, Capsid and Virulence as well as Molecular evolution. He studied Human pathogen and Genomics that intersect with Lineage and Evolutionary biology.
