Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

His main research concerns Genetics, Plasmid, Streptomyces, Gene and Molecular biology. His work on Genetic transfer, Streptomyces hygroscopicus, Transformation and Phylogenetics as part of general Genetics research is frequently linked to Bialaphos, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. In general Plasmid study, his work on Subcloning often relates to the realm of Shuttle vector, thereby connecting several areas of interest.

His Streptomyces research includes themes of Escherichia coli and PBR322. His Gene research entails a greater understanding of Biochemistry. His Molecular biology study incorporates themes from Regulation of gene expression, Thiostrepton, Gene expression and DNA.

His most cited work include:

  • Engineering herbicide resistance in plants by expression of a detoxifying enzyme. (822 citations)
  • Plant cells resistant to glutamine-synthetase inhibitors, made by genetic engineering (641 citations)
  • Characterization of the herbicide-resistance gene bar from Streptomyces hygroscopicus. (624 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Biochemistry, Gene, Streptomyces, Streptomyces coelicolor and Genetics. Charles J. Thompson integrates Biochemistry and Bialaphos in his studies. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Mycobacterium smegmatis, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Molecular biology and Antibiotic resistance.

His Streptomyces research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Complementation and Regulation of gene expression. As part of one scientific family, Charles J. Thompson deals mainly with the area of Streptomyces coelicolor, narrowing it down to issues related to the Microbiology, and often Efflux. The various areas that he examines in his Plasmid study include Molecular cloning and Escherichia coli.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Biochemistry (40.91%)
  • Gene (36.36%)
  • Streptomyces (30.30%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2021)?

  • Microbiology (25.00%)
  • Mycobacterium tuberculosis (12.88%)
  • Antibiotics (13.64%)

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

His main research concerns Microbiology, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Antibiotics, Antibiotic resistance and Pharmacology. Charles J. Thompson has researched Microbiology in several fields, including Mycobacterium bovis and Virology. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Metabolism, Cholesterol and Cell growth is strongly linked to Mycobacterium.

His research on Antibiotics concerns the broader Biochemistry. His study ties his expertise on Streptomyces hygroscopicus together with the subject of Biochemistry. His Antibiotic resistance course of study focuses on Gene and Molecular biology.

Between 2011 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The Mycobacterial Transcriptional Regulator whiB7 Gene Links Redox Homeostasis and Intrinsic Antibiotic Resistance (75 citations)
  • Anthelmintic Avermectins Kill Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Including Multidrug-Resistant Clinical Strains (69 citations)
  • Functional and Genetic Characterization of the Tap Efflux Pump in Mycobacterium bovis BCG (52 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • DNA

His scientific interests lie mostly in Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Microbiology, Drug resistance, Multiple drug resistance and Antibiotics. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Rifampicin and Rifabutin. Charles J. Thompson works mostly in the field of Drug resistance, limiting it down to topics relating to Gene and, in certain cases, Mycobacterium, as a part of the same area of interest.

His Mycobacterium research includes elements of Molecular biology, Transcription, Transcriptional regulation and Cell biology. In his work, Mycobacterium smegmatis is strongly intertwined with Peptide, which is a subfield of Antibiotics. His Mycobacterium smegmatis study combines topics in areas such as Amino acid, Biochemistry and Antimicrobial.
