Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • DNA

His scientific interests lie mostly in Trypanosoma cruzi, Chagas disease, Immunology, Benznidazole and Virology. The Trypanosoma cruzi study combines topics in areas such as Molecular biology, Parasitemia and Genetics, Gene. While the research belongs to areas of Chagas disease, he spends his time largely on the problem of In vivo, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Pharmacology and Drug resistance.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Nifurtimox, Posaconazole and Neglected tropical diseases. His Virology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Serology, Leishmaniasis, Kinetoplastida and Leishmania. His Leishmania research integrates issues from Visceral leishmaniasis, Protozoa, Polymerase chain reaction and Pathology.

His most cited work include:

  • In vitro and in vivo experimental models for drug screening and development for Chagas disease (218 citations)
  • The Potential of Secondary Metabolites from Plants as Drugs or Leads Against Protozoan Neglected Diseases – Part I (185 citations)
  • Kinetics of cytokine gene expression in experimental chagasic cardiomyopathy: tissue parasitism and endogenous IFN-γ as important determinants of chemokine mRNA expression during infection with Trypanosoma cruzi. (160 citations)

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

Alvaro J. Romanha focuses on Trypanosoma cruzi, Chagas disease, Immunology, Benznidazole and Microbiology. His Trypanosoma cruzi research incorporates elements of Molecular biology, Biochemistry, Parasitemia and Virology. His Virology study combines topics in areas such as Xenodiagnosis, Serology and Polymerase chain reaction.

In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Chagas disease, Pharmacology is strongly linked to In vivo. His Benznidazole research incorporates themes from Nifurtimox and Gene. His Microbiology research includes themes of Plant use of endophytic fungi in defense, Fungus and Botany.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Trypanosoma cruzi (58.64%)
  • Chagas disease (22.51%)
  • Immunology (19.90%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2019)?

  • Trypanosoma cruzi (58.64%)
  • Biochemistry (15.71%)
  • Botany (12.57%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Trypanosoma cruzi, Biochemistry, Botany, Benznidazole and Amastigote. His Trypanosoma cruzi research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Immunology, Chagas disease, Molecular biology, IC50 and Gene. His Biochemistry research includes themes of Betulinic acid and Trypanosoma rangeli.

His research investigates the link between Botany and topics such as Microbiology that cross with problems in Alternaria, Microdochium and Phaeosphaeria. He focuses mostly in the field of Benznidazole, narrowing it down to topics relating to Nifurtimox and, in certain cases, 1,2,3-Triazole, Semicarbazide and Thio-. His work deals with themes such as In vitro, Cytotoxicity, Intracellular, Traditional medicine and Pharmacology, which intersect with Amastigote.

Between 2010 and 2019, his most popular works were:

  • The Potential of Secondary Metabolites from Plants as Drugs or Leads Against Protozoan Neglected Diseases – Part I (185 citations)
  • Diversity and bioprospecting of fungal communities associated with endemic and cold-adapted macroalgae in Antarctica (114 citations)
  • Diversity Patterns, Ecology and Biological Activities of Fungal Communities Associated with the Endemic Macroalgae Across the Antarctic Peninsula (77 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • DNA

His primary areas of study are Botany, Penicillium, Microbiology, Microbial ecology and Cladosporium. His work in the fields of Botany, such as Phaeosphaeria, Microdochium and Alternaria, overlaps with other areas such as Colobanthus quitensis and Phaeosphaeria herpotrichoides. Alvaro J. Romanha works mostly in the field of Microbiology, limiting it down to topics relating to Fungus and, in certain cases, Candida albicans, Candida krusei, Antimicrobial and Plant use of endophytic fungi in defense.

His work is dedicated to discovering how Candida albicans, Antiprotozoal are connected with Neglected tropical diseases, Leishmaniasis, Toxicology and Disease and other disciplines. His study looks at the intersection of Cladosporium and topics like Penicillium chrysogenum with Biological dispersal. His work on Ecological niche, Taxon, Bioprospecting and Biodiversity is typically connected to Monostroma as part of general Ecology study, connecting several disciplines of science.
