Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Immune system
  • Gene
  • Internal medicine

Derek Wakelin focuses on Immunology, Immune system, Trichinella spiralis, Immunity and Antigen. His work in the fields of Immunology, such as Antibody, overlaps with other areas such as Cognitive science. His Immune system study typically links adjacent topics like Helminths.

Derek Wakelin interconnects Tumor necrosis factor alpha, Goblet cell, Trichuris, Trichuris muris and Innate immune system in the investigation of issues within Trichinella spiralis. His research in Immunity intersects with topics in Protozoa, Cytokine and Lymphocyte. His work on T lymphocyte as part of general Antigen study is frequently linked to Eosinophil, bridging the gap between disciplines.

His most cited work include:

  • The Immune Response (198 citations)
  • Understanding chronic nematode infections: evolutionary considerations, current hypotheses and the way forward. (170 citations)
  • Enterochromaffin cell hyperplasia and decreased serotonin transporter in a mouse model of postinfectious bowel dysfunction. (168 citations)

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

Derek Wakelin mainly investigates Immunology, Immune system, Immunity, Trichinella spiralis and Antigen. His works in Antibody, Trichuris muris, Cytokine, Helminths and Mast cell are all subjects of inquiry into Immunology. In his study, Helminthiasis is inextricably linked to Trichuris, which falls within the broad field of Trichuris muris.

His Immune system study incorporates themes from Host and Immunopathology. His study looks at the relationship between Immunity and topics such as Virology, which overlap with Cellular immunity. His studies deal with areas such as Trichinella, T cell, Microbiology, Trichinosis and Vaccination as well as Trichinella spiralis.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Immunology (52.80%)
  • Immune system (33.60%)
  • Immunity (28.00%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2006-2010)?

  • Immunology (52.80%)
  • Internal medicine (4.80%)
  • Virology (13.60%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Immunology, Internal medicine, Virology, Host and Neuroscience. His study in the field of Cytokine, Antibody, Immunity and Immunotherapy also crosses realms of Survival strategy. His Internal medicine study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Gastroenterology and Endocrinology.

The various areas that Derek Wakelin examines in his Host study include Defence mechanisms and Microbiology. His study ties his expertise on Immune system together with the subject of Neuroscience. Derek Wakelin combines subjects such as Malaria, Protozoa, Antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity, Parasitic disease and Immunopathology with his study of Immune system.

Between 2006 and 2010, his most popular works were:

  • Prolonged elevation of galanin and tachykinin expression in mucosal and myenteric enteric nerves in trinitrobenzene sulphonic acid colitis (28 citations)
  • The role of natural killer cells in resistance to coccidiosis : investigations in a murine model (16 citations)
  • Gastrointestinal tract infections (7 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Gene
  • Immune system

His primary areas of study are Internal medicine, Gastroenterology, Immunology, Immunity and Antibody. In the field of Internal medicine, his study on Colitis and Inflammation overlaps with subjects such as Neurofilament and Neuropeptide K. His Gastroenterology study often links to related topics such as Gastrointestinal tract.

His Immunology research incorporates themes from Parasitic disease and Protozoa. His Immunity research incorporates elements of Spleen, Innate immune system, Cytokine and Lymph node. His research integrates issues of Immunopathology and Ratón in his study of Antibody.
