Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

Virus
Gene
Immune system

Francisco Gonzalez-Scarano spends much of his time researching Virology, Immunology, Virus, Multiple sclerosis and Central nervous system. His Virology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Chemokine receptor CCR5 and NLS. His Immunology study frequently links to other fields, such as Dementia.

His Virus research includes elements of Cell culture, Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, Ceramide, Glycolipid and Cell type. His studies deal with areas such as Antiretroviral therapy, Microglia, Pathogenesis and Intensive care medicine as well as Central nervous system. His study in Neuropathogenesis is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Neuropsychological testing, Motor disorder, Neurodegeneration, Monocyte and Macrophage.

His most cited work include:

The neuropathogenesis of AIDS (888 citations)
The neuropathogenesis of AIDS (888 citations)
Microglia as mediators of inflammatory and degenerative diseases. (874 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Virology, Virus, Immunology, Molecular biology and Cell culture. The various areas that Francisco Gonzalez-Scarano examines in his Virology study include Antibody and Microglia. His Microglia research integrates issues from Syncytium and Lentivirus.

His Virus study which covers Virulence that intersects with Infectivity. His Immunology research incorporates elements of Dementia, Central nervous system and Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. His Central nervous system research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Neuroinflammation, Macrophage and Pathology.

He most often published in these fields:

Virology (59.74%)
Virus (38.31%)
Immunology (22.08%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2003-2018)?

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

His primary areas of investigation include Virology, Virus, Immunology, Central nervous system and Microglia. His research on Virology frequently links to adjacent areas such as Endosome. His Virus research includes themes of Molecular biology and Cell culture, Cell fusion.

His research in the fields of Immune system overlaps with other disciplines such as Living donor and Viral spread. His studies in Central nervous system integrate themes in fields like Central nervous system disease, Neuropsychological testing, Macrophage and Antiretroviral therapy. His work in Neuropathogenesis covers topics such as Neurodegeneration which are related to areas like Monocyte and Dementia.

Between 2003 and 2018, his most popular works were:

The neuropathogenesis of AIDS (888 citations)
The neuropathogenesis of AIDS (888 citations)
HIV-1-Related Central Nervous System Disease: Current Issues in Pathogenesis, Diagnosis, and Treatment (132 citations)

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

Gene
Virus
Immune system

His scientific interests lie mostly in Virology, Immunology, Macrophage, Monocyte and Central nervous system. His study on Virology is mostly dedicated to connecting different topics, such as Rash. The study incorporates disciplines such as Transmission and Natural history in addition to Immunology.

His Macrophage study combines topics in areas such as Motor disorder, Neurodegeneration, Microglia, Annexin and Dementia. Francisco Gonzalez-Scarano combines subjects such as Intensive care medicine, Pathogenesis and Antiretroviral therapy with his study of Central nervous system. The concepts of his Virus study are interwoven with issues in Cell culture and Membrane glycoproteins.
