Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

His scientific interests lie mostly in Anopheles gambiae, Molecular biology, Gene, Genetics and Anopheles. His research in Anopheles gambiae intersects with topics in Defensin, Virology, Vector, Cell nucleus and Innate immune system. His work carried out in the field of Virology brings together such families of science as Plasmodium falciparum, Plasmodium and Malaria.

His study in Molecular biology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both RNA, Transcription factor, Complementary DNA, Molecular cloning and Globin. His works in Messenger RNA, Exon, Coding region, Regulation of gene expression and Gene expression are all subjects of inquiry into Gene. His Anopheles research incorporates themes from Protein isoform, Expressed sequence tag, Cecropin, Plasmodium berghei and Midgut.

His most cited work include:

  • Functional cDNA libraries from Drosophila embryos. (507 citations)
  • Functional cDNA libraries from Drosophila embryos. (507 citations)
  • Comparative genome and proteome analysis of Anopheles gambiae and Drosophila melanogaster. (468 citations)

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

Genetics, Gene, Molecular biology, Drosophila melanogaster and Anopheles gambiae are his primary areas of study. His research ties DNA and Gene together. His research investigates the connection between Molecular biology and topics such as Messenger RNA that intersect with issues in Protein biosynthesis.

The Drosophila melanogaster study combines topics in areas such as Phenotype, Mutant and Cell biology. The concepts of his Anopheles gambiae study are interwoven with issues in Innate immune system, Plasmodium berghei, Virology and Anopheles. The various areas that Fotis C. Kafatos examines in his Complementary DNA study include Peptide sequence and Bombyx.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (62.32%)
  • Gene (53.87%)
  • Molecular biology (32.75%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2001-2016)?

  • Anopheles gambiae (14.79%)
  • Genetics (62.32%)
  • Gene (53.87%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Anopheles gambiae, Genetics, Gene, Plasmodium berghei and Innate immune system. He interconnects Functional genomics, Proteases, Microbiology and Virology in the investigation of issues within Anopheles gambiae. His Gene expression, Regulation of gene expression and Contig Mapping study in the realm of Gene interacts with subjects such as Anopheles stephensi.

His Plasmodium berghei research includes themes of Molecular biology, Midgut and Anopheles. His Molecular biology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Transcription factor, Mef2, Myogenesis and Gene expression profiling. Fotis C. Kafatos has researched Innate immune system in several fields, including Evolutionary biology, RNA interference, Immunity and Staphylococcus aureus.

Between 2001 and 2016, his most popular works were:

  • Comparative genome and proteome analysis of Anopheles gambiae and Drosophila melanogaster. (468 citations)
  • The role of reactive oxygen species on Plasmodium melanotic encapsulation in Anopheles gambiae (246 citations)
  • Malaria Control with Genetically Manipulated Insect Vectors (228 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

His main research concerns Anopheles gambiae, Plasmodium berghei, Anopheles, Virology and Malaria. His Anopheles gambiae study combines topics in areas such as Genetics and Innate immune system. His studies deal with areas such as Molecular biology and Microbiology as well as Plasmodium berghei.

His studies in Molecular biology integrate themes in fields like Oxidative stress, Superoxide dismutase, Catalase, Gene knockdown and RNA. His research integrates issues of Plasmodium and Midgut in his study of Anopheles. His Malaria research includes elements of Infectious disease, Laminin, Basal lamina, Peptide sequence and Cell biology.
