Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

Trypanosoma brucei, Gene, Biochemistry, Genetics and Transcription are his primary areas of study. His work carried out in the field of Trypanosoma brucei brings together such families of science as Kinetoplastida, Virology, Apolipoprotein L1, Molecular biology and Cell biology. His Gene expression, Antigenic variation and Polyadenylation study, which is part of a larger body of work in Gene, is frequently linked to Direct evidence, bridging the gap between disciplines.

His study looks at the intersection of Biochemistry and topics like Function with Surface Glycoproteins, Apolipoproteins L, Intracellular and Ion channel. In the subject of general Genetics, his work in genomic DNA, DNA–DNA hybridization and Restriction enzyme is often linked to Subspecies and Numerical taxonomy, thereby combining diverse domains of study. His research in the fields of RNA-dependent RNA polymerase overlaps with other disciplines such as Procyclin.

His most cited work include:

  • Association of trypanolytic ApoL1 variants with kidney disease in African Americans. (1263 citations)
  • Apolipoprotein L-I is the trypanosome lytic factor of human serum (375 citations)
  • A VSG Expression Site-Associated Gene Confers Resistance to Human Serum in Trypanosoma rhodesiense (301 citations)

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

Etienne Pays mainly investigates Trypanosoma brucei, Molecular biology, Gene, Genetics and Biochemistry. His Trypanosoma brucei research includes themes of Kinetoplastida, Trypanosoma, Virology, Glycoprotein and Cell biology. Etienne Pays works mostly in the field of Virology, limiting it down to concerns involving Apolipoprotein L1 and, occasionally, Innate immune system.

His Molecular biology study which covers RNA-dependent RNA polymerase that intersects with RNA polymerase II. His study looks at the relationship between Gene and topics such as Antigen, which overlap with Immune system. When carried out as part of a general Transcription research project, his work on RNA polymerase is frequently linked to work in Procyclin, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Trypanosoma brucei (58.40%)
  • Molecular biology (35.11%)
  • Gene (33.21%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2006-2021)?

  • Trypanosoma brucei (58.40%)
  • Cell biology (18.70%)
  • Virology (18.32%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Trypanosoma brucei, Cell biology, Virology, Apolipoprotein L1 and Biochemistry. His Trypanosoma brucei research is included under the broader classification of Gene. His Cell biology research integrates issues from Phenotype, Lysosome, Programmed cell death and Glycoprotein.

His work on African trypanosomiasis, Trypanosomiasis and Trypanosoma lewisi is typically connected to Subspecies and Arginase as part of general Virology study, connecting several disciplines of science. His Apolipoprotein L1 study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense, Genetics, Trypanosoma and Golgi apparatus, PI4KB. His study focuses on the intersection of Genetics and fields such as Apolipoprotein L with connections in the field of Case-control study.

Between 2006 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Association of trypanolytic ApoL1 variants with kidney disease in African Americans. (1263 citations)
  • A haptoglobin-hemoglobin receptor conveys innate immunity to Trypanosoma brucei in humans. (186 citations)
  • Mechanism of Trypanosoma brucei gambiense resistance to human serum (103 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

His scientific interests lie mostly in Trypanosoma brucei, Cell biology, Biochemistry, Virology and Glycoprotein. To a larger extent, he studies Gene with the aim of understanding Trypanosoma brucei. His work deals with themes such as Lysosome, Endocytosis, Adenylate kinase and Antigenic variation, which intersect with Cell biology.

His work on Nucleic acid sequence and Activator as part of general Biochemistry research is often related to Composition and Cytochrome P-450 Enzyme Inhibitors, thus linking different fields of science. The various areas that Etienne Pays examines in his Glycoprotein study include Receptor, Haptoglobin and Heme. His Apolipoprotein L1 research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense, Internalization, Odds ratio and Case-control study.
