The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Factor H, Complement system, Immunology, Complement C3b Inactivator Proteins and Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome. Her Factor H research incorporates themes from Complement factor I, Borrelia burgdorferi and Molecular biology. The Complement factor I study combines topics in areas such as Complement factor B and CD46.
Her work deals with themes such as Penetrance, Innate immune system and Glomerulonephritis, which intersect with Complement system. Her Immunology study which covers Gene that intersects with Etiology. As a member of one scientific family, Christine Skerka mostly works in the field of Complement C3b Inactivator Proteins, focusing on Microbiology and, on occasion, Immune system.
Her primary areas of investigation include Factor H, Complement system, Microbiology, Immunology and Alternative complement pathway. Her Factor H study incorporates themes from Complement factor I and Molecular biology. Her Complement system study combines topics in areas such as Plasma protein binding and Cell biology.
Her Microbiology research includes themes of Innate immune system, Immune system, Borrelia burgdorferi and Complement. Her Immunology study frequently draws connections to adjacent fields such as Gene. Her Complement component 2 study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Complement control protein, CD46, Complement factor B and Complement membrane attack complex.
Her primary scientific interests are in Complement system, Immunology, Factor H, Immune system and Cell biology. Her Complement system research focuses on Alternative complement pathway in particular. As a part of the same scientific family, she mostly works in the field of Immunology, focusing on Glomerulopathy and, on occasion, Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome, Vasculitis and Context.
Her Factor H study is focused on Genetics in general. The concepts of her Immune system study are interwoven with issues in Computational biology, Gene, Virulence and Candida albicans. Her studies deal with areas such as Receptor, FOXP3, Cytokine and Complement as well as Cell biology.
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Complement system, Immunology, Microbiology, Cell biology and Plasmin. Christine Skerka works in the field of Complement system, focusing on Complement factor B in particular. She has researched Immunology in several fields, including Lupus nephritis, Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis, Membranous nephropathy and Transcriptome.
Her work in the fields of Microbiology, such as Corpus albicans, intersects with other areas such as CD16. Her Cell biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Alternative complement pathway, C3-convertase, Cytokine and FOXP3. Her Plasmin study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Cell, Phagocytosis, Aspergillus fumigatus, Cell damage and Plasminogen activator.
