Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Bacteria
  • Gene
  • Virus

Duane L. Pierson mostly deals with Immunology, Spaceflight, Virulence, Microbiology and Virology. His work on Immunology is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as Aviation medicine. His work deals with themes such as Regulation of gene expression, Regulon and Salmonella enterica, Salmonella, which intersect with Virulence.

Duane L. Pierson combines subjects such as Molecular biology, MUC1 and Tissue culture with his study of Microbiology. The concepts of his Virology study are interwoven with issues in Saliva and Polymerase chain reaction. His Virus study incorporates themes from Antibody and Antigen.

His most cited work include:

  • Space flight alters bacterial gene expression and virulence and reveals a role for global regulator Hfq (329 citations)
  • Microbial Responses to Microgravity and Other Low-Shear Environments (248 citations)
  • Stress‐induced subclinical reactivation of varicella zoster virus in astronauts (211 citations)

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

Duane L. Pierson focuses on Immunology, Spaceflight, Immune system, Virus and Saliva. All of his Immunology and Varicella zoster virus, Antibody, Cytokine, Antigen and Herpesviridae investigations are sub-components of the entire Immunology study. His study in Spaceflight intersects with areas of studies such as Immune dysregulation, Physiology, Innate immune system, Weightlessness and Endocrinology.

His Immune system research focuses on subjects like Cytotoxic T cell, which are linked to Molecular biology. Virus is a primary field of his research addressed under Virology. His work on Epstein–Barr virus as part of general Virology study is frequently linked to Virus Activation, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Immunology (37.01%)
  • Spaceflight (29.22%)
  • Immune system (25.97%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2020)?

  • Spaceflight (29.22%)
  • Immune system (25.97%)
  • Immunology (37.01%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Spaceflight, Immune system, Immunology, Immune dysregulation and Virus. His Immune system research incorporates elements of K562 cells, Neuroscience and Cytolysis. Duane L. Pierson has researched Immunology in several fields, including Cytotoxic T cell and Cell biology.

His research integrates issues of Viral reactivation and Deconditioning in his study of Immune dysregulation. To a larger extent, he studies Virology with the aim of understanding Virus. His studies in Saliva integrate themes in fields like Disease and Varicella zoster virus.

Between 2016 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Immune System Dysregulation During Spaceflight: Potential Countermeasures for Deep Space Exploration Missions. (93 citations)
  • Latent virus reactivation in astronauts on the international space station. (51 citations)
  • Study of the impact of long-duration space missions at the International Space Station on the astronaut microbiome. (41 citations)

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

  • Bacteria
  • Gene
  • Immune system

Duane L. Pierson mainly focuses on Spaceflight, Immune system, Crew, Immunity and Cytomegalovirus. He incorporates Spaceflight and Innate immune system in his studies. Duane L. Pierson has researched Immune system in several fields, including Precision medicine and Risk analysis.

His work carried out in the field of Immunity brings together such families of science as Multiple sclerosis, Neuroscience, Human space exploration and Cell function. Duane L. Pierson is investigating Virology and Virus as part of his examination of Cytomegalovirus. He has included themes like Plasma cortisol and Immunology in his Virology study.
