Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genetics

Andrea M. Macedo mostly deals with Trypanosoma cruzi, Chagas disease, Polymerase chain reaction, Genetics and Virology. Her Trypanosoma cruzi study incorporates themes from Molecular biology, Typing, Restriction fragment length polymorphism and Kinetoplast. Her Typing research includes elements of Evolutionary biology, Genotyping and Transmission.

Her study with Chagas disease involves better knowledge in Immunology. Andrea M. Macedo has included themes like Clone, Genetic variation and Pathogenesis in her Genetic variability study. The study incorporates disciplines such as RAPD and Genetic diversity in addition to Gene.

Her most cited work include:

  • A new consensus for Trypanosoma cruzi intraspecific nomenclature: second revision meeting recommends TcI to TcVI. (722 citations)
  • The revised Trypanosoma cruzi subspecific nomenclature: rationale, epidemiological relevance and research applications. (555 citations)
  • DNA markers define two major phylogenetic lineages of Trypanosoma cruzi (491 citations)

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

Her main research concerns Trypanosoma cruzi, Genetics, Chagas disease, Molecular biology and DNA. Her Trypanosoma cruzi research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Genotype, Immunology, Polymerase chain reaction and Virology. Her research integrates issues of Benznidazole and Disease in her study of Immunology.

In her research on the topic of Genetics, Genetic distance, Phylogenetics and Paracoccidioides brasiliensis is strongly related with RAPD. Her studies in Chagas disease integrate themes in fields like Trypanosomiasis, Genetic variability, Genotyping and Pathogenesis. Her studies deal with areas such as Recombinant DNA, Mutant, Mitochondrial DNA, DNA repair and DNA polymerase as well as Molecular biology.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Trypanosoma cruzi (63.71%)
  • Genetics (40.32%)
  • Chagas disease (34.68%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2012-2021)?

  • Trypanosoma cruzi (63.71%)
  • Genetics (40.32%)
  • Molecular biology (23.39%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Trypanosoma cruzi, Genetics, Molecular biology, Gene and Chagas disease. Her Trypanosoma cruzi research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Oxidative stress, Immune system, Immunology, Microbiology and RAD51. In the field of Genetics, her study on Genetic marker, Microsatellite, Kinetoplast and Karyotype overlaps with subjects such as Schistosoma mansoni.

Her study focuses on the intersection of Molecular biology and fields such as DNA repair with connections in the field of Benznidazole, DNA damage and Mitochondrial DNA. In the subject of general Gene, her work in Trans-splicing and Gene expression is often linked to LIM domain, Protein–DNA interaction and RING finger domain, thereby combining diverse domains of study. Her Chagas disease research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Veterinary medicine, Molecular typing, Genotyping and Chronic disease.

Between 2012 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Unveiling Benznidazole's mechanism of action through overexpression of DNA repair proteins in Trypanosoma cruzi (48 citations)
  • Chromosomal copy number variation reveals differential levels of genomic plasticity in distinct Trypanosoma cruzi strains. (45 citations)
  • Oxidative Stress and DNA Lesions: The Role of 8-Oxoguanine Lesions in Trypanosoma cruzi Cell Viability (44 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genetics

Andrea M. Macedo mainly investigates Trypanosoma cruzi, Genetics, Molecular biology, Strain and Genome. Her study in Trypanosoma cruzi focuses on Benznidazole in particular. Her Gene, Chromosome, Karyotype and Wahlund effect study in the realm of Genetics connects with subjects such as Genetic recombination.

Andrea M. Macedo interconnects DNA glycosylase, DNA, DNA repair, DNA replication and Mitochondrial DNA in the investigation of issues within Molecular biology. Her Strain study combines topics in areas such as RAD51, Homologous recombination, Genetic diversity and Thymidine. Her work on Genome evolution is typically connected to Combined approach as part of general Genome study, connecting several disciplines of science.
