Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Immune system
  • Enzyme

His primary areas of study are Immunology, Microbiology, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Immune system and Tuberculosis. His Immunology study is mostly concerned with Antigen, Cellular immunity, Lymphokine, Cytokine and Immunity. His Microbiology study incorporates themes from Intracellular, Intracellular parasite, Mycobacterium, Mycobacterium leprae and Cytotoxic T cell.

His research on Mycobacterium tuberculosis also deals with topics like

  • Macrophage which is related to area like TLR2,

  • Interferon gamma which is related to area like Antimicrobial. His study looks at the intersection of Immune system and topics like Receptor with Nitric oxide synthase, Nitric oxide, Signal transduction and In vitro. His Tuberculosis study also includes fields such as

  • Virology, which have a strong connection to Mycobacterium bovis and Pathogen,

  • Virulence that connect with fields like Mutant.

His most cited work include:

  • Toll-Like Receptor Triggering of a Vitamin D-Mediated Human Antimicrobial Response (2850 citations)
  • An essential role for interferon gamma in resistance to Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. (2077 citations)
  • Host defense mechanisms triggered by microbial lipoproteins through toll-like receptors. (1527 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Immunology, Virology, Microbiology, Antigen and Tuberculosis. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including In vitro and Disease. While the research belongs to areas of Microbiology, Barry R. Bloom spends his time largely on the problem of Macrophage, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Cell biology.

His study in Antigen is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Molecular biology, Lymphocyte, Monoclonal antibody and T cell. Barry R. Bloom works mostly in the field of Molecular biology, limiting it down to concerns involving Cytotoxic T cell and, occasionally, CD8. Barry R. Bloom studies Immune system, focusing on Cellular immunity in particular.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Immunology (32.51%)
  • Virology (25.26%)
  • Microbiology (19.46%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2004-2021)?

  • Microbiology (19.46%)
  • Tuberculosis (15.53%)
  • Immunology (32.51%)

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

Barry R. Bloom focuses on Microbiology, Tuberculosis, Immunology, Global health and Public health. His research in Microbiology intersects with topics in Tuberculosis vaccines, Mycobacterium leprae and Macrophage. His biological study focuses on Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

His work in Mycobacterium tuberculosis tackles topics such as Virology which are related to areas like Immunity and Antigen. His research related to Immune system and Cathelicidin might be considered part of Immunology. The concepts of his Immune system study are interwoven with issues in Infectious disease and Cell type.

Between 2004 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Toll-Like Receptor Triggering of a Vitamin D-Mediated Human Antimicrobial Response (2850 citations)
  • Genome-wide requirements for Mycobacterium tuberculosis adaptation and survival in macrophages (533 citations)
  • Ipr1 gene mediates innate immunity to tuberculosis. (364 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Immune system
  • Enzyme

His scientific interests lie mostly in Immunology, Microbiology, Tuberculosis, Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Public health. His Immunology study combines topics in areas such as Vitamin D and neurology and Polymerase chain reaction. His Microbiology research integrates issues from Tuberculosis vaccines, BCG vaccine, Innate immune system and Macrophage.

His Innate immune system research includes themes of Intracellular, Intracellular parasite and Cell biology. His work in Tuberculosis addresses issues such as Virology, which are connected to fields such as Disease. His work on Mycobacterium bovis as part of general Mycobacterium tuberculosis study is frequently linked to Aerosolize, bridging the gap between disciplines.
