Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Immune system
  • Enzyme

Christopher J. Secombes spends much of his time researching Molecular biology, Rainbow trout, Gene, Trout and Genetics. The Molecular biology study combines topics in areas such as Complementary DNA, Northern blot, Untranslated region, Open reading frame and Intron. He has researched Rainbow trout in several fields, including Gene expression, Immunology, Immune system, Cytokine and Microbiology.

In his research, In vivo is intimately related to Macrophage, which falls under the overarching field of Immunology. His Immune system research incorporates elements of Respiratory burst and Transcriptome. The various areas that he examines in his Trout study include Tumor necrosis factor alpha, Cell culture, Recombinant DNA, Messenger RNA and Proinflammatory cytokine.

His most cited work include:

  • Identification and Bioactivities of IFN-γ in Rainbow Trout Oncorhynchus mykiss: The First Th1-Type Cytokine Characterized Functionally in Fish (316 citations)
  • Cytokines and innate immunity of fish. (312 citations)
  • Analysis of events occurring within teleost macrophages during the respiratory burst (295 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Rainbow trout, Molecular biology, Immune system, Gene and Immunology. The study incorporates disciplines such as Microbiology, Trout, Respiratory burst, Antibody and Macrophage in addition to Rainbow trout. In his research on the topic of Trout, Receptor is strongly related with Cell biology.

His Molecular biology research integrates issues from Cell culture, Gene expression, Complementary DNA and Open reading frame, Peptide sequence. His work deals with themes such as Salmo and Cytokine, which intersect with Immune system. His Gene study is focused on Genetics in general.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Rainbow trout (37.63%)
  • Molecular biology (33.92%)
  • Immune system (24.56%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Immune system (24.56%)
  • Rainbow trout (37.63%)
  • Immunology (20.67%)

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

His main research concerns Immune system, Rainbow trout, Immunology, Molecular biology and Gene. Christopher J. Secombes combines subjects such as Yersinia ruckeri, Cytokine and Microbiology with his study of Immune system. His work investigates the relationship between Rainbow trout and topics such as Cell biology that intersect with problems in Receptor.

His study looks at the intersection of Immunology and topics like Salmo with Virology, Interferon and Fishery. B cell is closely connected to T cell in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Molecular biology. His Gene study is related to the wider topic of Genetics.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The Function of Fish Cytokines (200 citations)
  • Environmental and physiological factors shape the gut microbiota of Atlantic salmon parr (Salmo salar L.). (143 citations)
  • Impact of selenium supplementation on fish antiviral responses: a whole transcriptomic analysis in rainbow trout ( Oncorhynchus mykiss ) fed supranutritional levels of Sel-Plex® (87 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Immune system
  • Enzyme

Immune system, Immunology, Gene, Genetics and Innate immune system are his primary areas of study. His research integrates issues of Cytokine, Zebrafish and Microbiology in his study of Immune system. His studies in Immunology integrate themes in fields like Fish Proteins, Salmo, Stimulation and Immune gene.

His Genetics study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Trout and Rainbow trout. The concepts of his Innate immune system study are interwoven with issues in Interferon, Molecular biology, Virus and Thioredoxin reductase, Thioredoxin. His Molecular biology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Antigen-presenting cell, Epinephelus, Spleen, Complementary DNA and Nodaviridae.
