Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

His primary scientific interests are in RNA, Molecular biology, Poliovirus, Virology and Genetics. His research in RNA intersects with topics in Ribosomal RNA, Messenger RNA, Eukaryotic translation and Protein biosynthesis. His work carried out in the field of Molecular biology brings together such families of science as Biochemistry, Peptide sequence, RNA polymerase, RNase P and Oligonucleotide.

Eckard Wimmer interconnects Complementary DNA, Plasmid, Capsid and Coding region in the investigation of issues within Poliovirus. The study incorporates disciplines such as Epitope and Phenotype in addition to Virology. His study explores the link between Genetics and topics such as Plasma protein binding that cross with problems in Viral genetics and Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

His most cited work include:

  • A segment of the 5' nontranslated region of encephalomyocarditis virus RNA directs internal entry of ribosomes during in vitro translation. (1118 citations)
  • Cellular receptor for poliovirus: molecular cloning, nucleotide sequence, and expression of a new member of the immunoglobulin superfamily. (879 citations)
  • Chemical synthesis of poliovirus cDNA: generation of infectious virus in the absence of natural template. (734 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Virology, Poliovirus, Molecular biology, RNA and Virus. His Virology study incorporates themes from Epitope, Attenuated vaccine and Genome. His work investigates the relationship between Poliovirus and topics such as Capsid that intersect with problems in Recombinant DNA.

The concepts of his Molecular biology study are interwoven with issues in Peptide sequence, Biochemistry, Mutant and RNA polymerase. His RNA study is concerned with the field of Genetics as a whole. His Virus research integrates issues from Complementary DNA, Receptor and RNA virus.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Virology (48.38%)
  • Poliovirus (46.22%)
  • Molecular biology (41.62%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2008-2021)?

  • Virology (48.38%)
  • Virus (26.49%)
  • Genetics (18.92%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Virology, Virus, Genetics, Poliovirus and Genome. His research integrates issues of Attenuated vaccine, Internal ribosome entry site, Codon usage bias and Immune system in his study of Virology. His study in the field of RNA, RNA virus, Gene and Synthetic biology is also linked to topics like Communication.

His RNA research includes themes of Infectivity and Capsid. Eckard Wimmer has included themes like Molecular biology, Genetically modified mouse, Poliomyelitis and Microbiology in his Poliovirus study. Eckard Wimmer studies Molecular biology, focusing on Protein biosynthesis in particular.

Between 2008 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Phosphatidylserine Vesicles Enable Efficient En Bloc Transmission of Enteroviruses (234 citations)
  • Live attenuated influenza virus vaccines by computer-aided rational design (227 citations)
  • Cis-acting RNA elements in human and animal plus-strand RNA viruses. (138 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

Eckard Wimmer mostly deals with Virology, Genetics, Virus, RNA and Genome. His research in Virology intersects with topics in Attenuated vaccine and Phylum. His Virus study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Antigen, Recombinant DNA and Microbiology.

The various areas that he examines in his RNA study include Viral entry, Capsid and Viral quasispecies. In his research, Molecular biology is intimately related to ATPase, which falls under the overarching field of Capsid. His work in Viral replication tackles topics such as Poliovirus which are related to areas like Viral evolution and Whole genome sequencing.
