Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Immune system

Alex Loukas mainly focuses on Immunology, Hookworm vaccine, Necator americanus, Virology and Ancylostoma caninum. His studies in Immune system, Helminthiasis, Schistosoma mansoni, Opisthorchis viverrini and Liver fluke are all subfields of Immunology research. His Hookworm vaccine research includes themes of Hookworm infection, Antibody titer, Biochemistry, Pichia pastoris and Ancylostoma.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Proteases, Genetics and Serology. His work focuses on many connections between Virology and other disciplines, such as Antigen, that overlap with his field of interest in Immunoglobulin E. His study in Ancylostoma caninum is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Molecular biology, Hemoglobin, Protease and Protein family.

His most cited work include:

  • Soil-transmitted helminth infections: ascariasis, trichuriasis, and hookworm (1601 citations)
  • Liver fluke induces cholangiocarcinoma. (512 citations)
  • Current Status of Vaccines for Schistosomiasis (393 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Immunology, Necator americanus, Virology, Molecular biology and Ancylostoma caninum. His Necator americanus research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Proteases and Pichia pastoris. His Virology study incorporates themes from Adjuvant, Antibody, Antigen and Liver fluke.

His Molecular biology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Complementary DNA, Genetics, cDNA library, Gene and Signal peptide. The concepts of his Ancylostoma caninum study are interwoven with issues in Eosinophilia, Biochemistry, Ancylostoma and Ancylostomiasis. As a part of the same scientific study, he usually deals with the Helminths, concentrating on Microbiology and frequently concerns with Opisthorchis viverrini.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Immunology (33.33%)
  • Necator americanus (20.86%)
  • Virology (18.23%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Immunology (33.33%)
  • Immune system (15.35%)
  • Helminths (10.55%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Immunology, Immune system, Helminths, Microbiology and Schistosoma mansoni. His studies deal with areas such as Secretion and Disease as well as Immunology. His Immune system research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Ex vivo, Ancylostoma caninum and Immunopathology.

The various areas that Alex Loukas examines in his Ancylostoma caninum study include Genetics, Genome, Gene, Ancylostoma and Heligmosomoides polygyrus. As a part of the same scientific family, Alex Loukas mostly works in the field of Microbiology, focusing on Opisthorchis viverrini and, on occasion, Virology, Vaccination, Virulence and Hemolymph. In Nippostrongylus brasiliensis, Alex Loukas works on issues like Necator americanus, which are connected to Hookworm Infections.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Helminth Immunomodulation in Autoimmune Disease (99 citations)
  • Extracellular vesicles secreted by Schistosoma mansoni contain protein vaccine candidates (92 citations)
  • Schistosomiasis vaccines: where do we stand? (87 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Immune system

Immunology, Immune system, Helminths, Inflammatory bowel disease and Inflammation are his primary areas of study. His work on Disease expands to the thematically related Immunology. The Immune system study combines topics in areas such as Exosome, Ex vivo and Asthma.

His Helminths study combines topics in areas such as Secretion, Host, Extracellular vesicles and Microbiology. His work in Hookworm infection addresses issues such as Metalloproteinase, which are connected to fields such as Ancylostoma caninum. His work deals with themes such as Praziquantel and Cell biology, which intersect with Schistosoma mansoni.
