Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Internal medicine

His primary areas of study are Amphotericin B, Microbiology, Antibiotics, Immunology and Candida albicans. His work carried out in the field of Amphotericin B brings together such families of science as Aspergillus fumigatus, Hemolysis, Filipin and Pharmacology. Many of his research projects under Microbiology are closely connected to Communication with Communication, tying the diverse disciplines of science together.

He interconnects Vancomycin and Formulary in the investigation of issues within Antibiotics. His Immunology research incorporates elements of Flucytosine, Nausea and Ketoconazole. His research in Candida albicans focuses on subjects like Ergosterol, which are connected to Membrane, Cholesterol and Catalase.

His most cited work include:

  • Candidemia in a Tertiary Care Hospital: Epidemiology, Risk Factors, and Predictors of Mortality (594 citations)
  • Amphotericin B: current understanding of mechanisms of action. (396 citations)
  • Strategies in the treatment of systemic fungal infections. (268 citations)

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

Gerald Medoff mainly focuses on Amphotericin B, Microbiology, Antibiotics, Biochemistry and Pharmacology. His study looks at the relationship between Amphotericin B and fields such as Polyene, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. As part of the same scientific family, Gerald Medoff usually focuses on Microbiology, concentrating on Yeast and intersecting with Histoplasma, Virulence and Intracellular.

His Antibiotics study frequently draws connections between related disciplines such as Filipin. His study in Biochemistry is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Molecular biology and Candida albicans. His Pharmacology research integrates issues from Lomustine, Nitrosourea, Leukemia, Cytotoxicity and Carmustine.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Amphotericin B (40.40%)
  • Microbiology (35.10%)
  • Antibiotics (19.87%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1990-2020)?

  • Intensive care medicine (5.30%)
  • Pharmacology (17.88%)
  • Family medicine (1.99%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Intensive care medicine, Pharmacology, Family medicine, Pediatrics and Microbiology. The concepts of his Intensive care medicine study are interwoven with issues in Toxicity, Formulary, Antimicrobial and Antibiotic use. His research investigates the connection with Pharmacology and areas like Fluconazole which intersect with concerns in Drug, Drug resistance, Itraconazole, Bioinformatics and Chemotherapy.

His Pediatrics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Incidence and Candida krusei, Candida tropicalis. Gerald Medoff has included themes like Sepsis and Bacteria in his Microbiology study. His studies link Amphotericin B with Aspergillus.

Between 1990 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Candidemia in a Tertiary Care Hospital: Epidemiology, Risk Factors, and Predictors of Mortality (594 citations)
  • Contamination of flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopes with Mycobacterium chelonae linked to an automated bronchoscope disinfection machine. (127 citations)
  • Mechanisms of Microbial Disease (124 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Bacteria

Pediatrics, Microbiology, Infection control, Epidemiology and Hospitalized patients are his primary areas of study. His studies deal with areas such as Candida parapsilosis, Incidence and Candida krusei, Candida tropicalis as well as Pediatrics. His work in the fields of Microbiology, such as Microbial disease, overlaps with other areas such as Communication.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Intensive care and Emergency medicine. His research in Epidemiology intersects with topics in Antibacterial agent, Antibiotic use, Intensive care medicine and Positive blood culture, Blood culture. While working in this field, Gerald Medoff studies both Hospitalized patients and Retrospective review.
