Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Bacteria
  • Enzyme

Microbiology, Shiga toxin, Toxin, Immunology and Molecular biology are his primary areas of study. The Microbiology study combines topics in areas such as Epithelium, Intestinal mucosa and Diarrhea. His Shiga toxin research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Protein subunit and Interleukin 8.

While the research belongs to areas of Toxin, Gerald T. Keusch spends his time largely on the problem of Shigella dysenteriae, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Shigella. His research in Immunology intersects with topics in Malnutrition and Intensive care medicine. The various areas that he examines in his Molecular biology study include Plasmid and Monoclonal antibody.

His most cited work include:

  • Infection and diabetes: The case for glucose control (525 citations)
  • Quinolone Antibiotics Induce Shiga Toxin-Encoding Bacteriophages, Toxin Production, and Death in Mice (452 citations)
  • Shiga toxin: biochemistry, genetics, mode of action, and role in pathogenesis. (362 citations)

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

Gerald T. Keusch focuses on Microbiology, Immunology, Internal medicine, Toxin and Shiga toxin. His Microbiology research incorporates themes from Virology, Shigella, Shigella dysenteriae, Escherichia coli and Antibody. Gerald T. Keusch has researched Shigella dysenteriae in several fields, including Vibrio cholerae and Enterotoxin.

As a part of the same scientific study, Gerald T. Keusch usually deals with the Immunology, concentrating on Malnutrition and frequently concerns with Developing country, Environmental health, Pediatrics and Psychological intervention. His work focuses on many connections between Internal medicine and other disciplines, such as Endocrinology, that overlap with his field of interest in Blood volume. His research investigates the connection between Toxin and topics such as Molecular biology that intersect with problems in Monoclonal antibody.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Microbiology (30.31%)
  • Immunology (17.56%)
  • Internal medicine (16.15%)

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

  • Public health (6.52%)
  • Global health (4.82%)
  • Immunology (17.56%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Public health, Global health, Immunology, Economic growth and Health policy. His Public health study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Health care, MEDLINE, Randomized controlled trial, Medical emergency and Coronavirus disease 2019. His studies in Immunology integrate themes in fields like Endocrinology, Health services, Research methodology and Vitamin A deficiency.

His work in the fields of Economic growth, such as Developing country, overlaps with other areas such as Accountability. His study in Tetanus vaccine is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Microbiology and Nasal administration. Gerald T. Keusch has included themes like Yersinia enterocolitica, Virology, Cell membrane, Endocytosis and Shigella dysenteriae in his Microbiology study.

Between 2006 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Environmental Enteric Dysfunction: Pathogenesis, Diagnosis, and Clinical Consequences (155 citations)
  • Implications of Acquired Environmental Enteric Dysfunction for Growth and Stunting in Infants and Children Living in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (118 citations)
  • Zoonoses and marginalised infectious diseases of poverty: Where do we stand? (91 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Bacteria
  • Enzyme

His primary areas of investigation include Public health, Immunology, Psychological intervention, Microbiology and Antibody. His work on Global health and Health policy as part of his general Public health study is frequently connected to China and Mechanism, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. His specific area of interest is Immunology, where Gerald T. Keusch studies Host organism.

The concepts of his Psychological intervention study are interwoven with issues in Economic growth, Poverty, Malnutrition and Disease. His Microbiology study also includes

  • Immunization and related Immunity,
  • Virology and Bacillus subtilis most often made with reference to Immune system. His Bacillus subtilis research incorporates elements of Toxin and Vaccination.
