Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • DNA

Alyssa E. Barry mainly investigates Plasmodium falciparum, Malaria, Genetics, Population genetics and Plasmodium vivax. Her research ties Virology and Malaria together. Her Virology study combines topics in areas such as Apical membrane antigen 1, Antibody, Immunity and Antigen.

Her Population genetics research incorporates elements of Population genomics and Genetic diversity. Her Plasmodium vivax research focuses on Parasitology and how it connects with Evolutionary biology, Balancing selection and Transmission. Her research in Molecular epidemiology intersects with topics in Drug resistance, Artemisinin and Combination therapy, Pharmacology.

Her most cited work include:

  • A functional neo-centromere formed through activation of a latent human centromere and consisting of non-alpha-satellite DNA (288 citations)
  • Genomic epidemiology of artemisinin resistant malaria (185 citations)
  • Genomic epidemiology of artemisinin resistant malaria (185 citations)

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

Alyssa E. Barry mostly deals with Plasmodium falciparum, Malaria, Plasmodium vivax, Genetics and Genetic diversity. Her work carried out in the field of Plasmodium falciparum brings together such families of science as Evolutionary biology, Parasitology, Antigen and Virology. Hepatitis C is closely connected to Molecular epidemiology in her research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Virology.

Her work on Malaria vaccine as part of general Malaria research is often related to Transmission, thus linking different fields of science. Her Plasmodium vivax study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Population genetics, Linkage disequilibrium, Genetic structure, Gametocyte and Gene flow. In Genetic diversity, Alyssa E. Barry works on issues like Genetic variation, which are connected to Multiplicity of infection.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Plasmodium falciparum (110.95%)
  • Malaria (108.76%)
  • Plasmodium vivax (70.80%)

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

  • Plasmodium falciparum (110.95%)
  • Malaria (108.76%)
  • Plasmodium vivax (70.80%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Plasmodium falciparum, Malaria, Plasmodium vivax, Genetics and Environmental health. She has researched Plasmodium falciparum in several fields, including Parasitology, Immunity and Antigen. She interconnects Cerebral Malaria, Immunology and Antigenic variation in the investigation of issues within Parasitology.

Her Malaria study also includes fields such as

  • Epidemiology which connect with Child mortality,
  • Cohort that intertwine with fields like Cohort study and Transmission. The study incorporates disciplines such as Genetic structure, Genetic diversity, Linkage disequilibrium and Population genetics in addition to Plasmodium vivax. Her Environmental health research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Malaria incidence and Stepped wedge.

Between 2018 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Emergence of artemisinin-resistant Plasmodium falciparum with kelch13 C580Y mutations on the island of New Guinea. (18 citations)
  • An open dataset of Plasmodium falciparum genome variation in 7,000 worldwide samples (14 citations)
  • An open dataset of Plasmodium falciparum genome variation in 7,000 worldwide samples (14 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genetics

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Plasmodium falciparum, Drug resistance, Malaria, Genetics and Antigen. Her Drug resistance research incorporates themes from Single-nucleotide polymorphism, Indel, Mutation, Copy-number variation and Artemisinin. Her Malaria research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Parasitology, Genotype and Genomics.

Her Genetics study focuses on Lineage in particular. She interconnects Antibody, Immunity and Vaccination in the investigation of issues within Antigen. Her Antibody study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Plasmodium berghei, CD8 and Virology.
