Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Bacteria
  • Enzyme

His primary scientific interests are in Microbiology, Cell biology, Virulence, Secretion and Immunology. His Microbiology research includes themes of Bacteria, Effector and Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli, Escherichia coli. His Cell biology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Biochemistry and Cytoskeleton.

B. Brett Finlay interconnects Cytoplasm, Host cell membrane and Actin cytoskeleton in the investigation of issues within Virulence. His Immunology research includes elements of Antibiotics and Disease. His work carried out in the field of Pathogen brings together such families of science as Inflammation, Host and Antigenic variation.

His most cited work include:

  • Gut Microbiota in Health and Disease (2253 citations)
  • Common themes in microbial pathogenicity revisited. (1331 citations)
  • Specific Microbiota Direct the Differentiation of IL-17-Producing T-Helper Cells in the Mucosa of the Small Intestine (1227 citations)

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

Microbiology, Virulence, Cell biology, Secretion and Immunology are his primary areas of study. His studies examine the connections between Microbiology and genetics, as well as such issues in Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli, with regards to Intimin. His Virulence research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Virology, Enterobacteriaceae and Bacteria.

His research integrates issues of Biochemistry and Cytoskeleton in his study of Cell biology. His research investigates the connection with Secretion and areas like Effector which intersect with concerns in Type three secretion system. His study ties his expertise on Disease together with the subject of Immunology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Microbiology (54.34%)
  • Virulence (21.77%)
  • Cell biology (20.95%)

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

  • Microbiology (54.34%)
  • Immunology (18.00%)
  • Immune system (12.44%)

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

B. Brett Finlay mostly deals with Microbiology, Immunology, Immune system, Microbiome and Gut flora. His research in Microbiology intersects with topics in Salmonella enterica, Salmonella, Escherichia coli, Innate immune system and Virulence. His Virulence research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Secretion, Citrobacter rodentium, Host and Effector.

In his study, Bacteria is inextricably linked to Type three secretion system, which falls within the broad field of Secretion. His studies in Immunology integrate themes in fields like Antibiotics and Disease. His Immune system study incorporates themes from Helminths, Pathogen and Inflammatory bowel disease.

Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Early infancy microbial and metabolic alterations affect risk of childhood asthma (752 citations)
  • Recent Advances in Understanding Enteric Pathogenic Escherichia coli (649 citations)
  • The Intestinal Microbiome in Early Life: Health and Disease (420 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Bacteria
  • Enzyme

B. Brett Finlay mainly investigates Microbiology, Immunology, Immune system, Gut flora and Microbiome. His Microbiology study focuses on Pathogen in particular. The Immunology study combines topics in areas such as Antibiotics and Disease, Inflammatory bowel disease.

B. Brett Finlay combines subjects such as Helminths, Immunoglobulin E, Atopic disease and Antigen with his study of Immune system. His work deals with themes such as Tacrolimus, Metabolome, Feces and Asthma, which intersect with Gut flora. His work in Virulence tackles topics such as Secretion which are related to areas like Effector, Cell biology, Transport protein, Host cell cytoplasm and Host cell membrane.
