Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Virus
  • Gene
  • DNA

His primary areas of investigation include Human cytomegalovirus, Virology, Immunology, Virus and Congenital cytomegalovirus infection. The study incorporates disciplines such as Viremia, Prenatal diagnosis, Fetus, Betaherpesvirinae and Ganciclovir in addition to Human cytomegalovirus. In Betaherpesvirinae, he works on issues like Polymerase chain reaction, which are connected to DNA.

Giuseppe Gerna has included themes like Endothelial stem cell, Antibody, Monoclonal antibody and Antigen in his Virology study. A large part of his Immunology studies is devoted to Herpesviridae. His Virus research includes themes of In vitro, Microbiology, Molecular biology, Genotype and Sequence analysis.

His most cited work include:

  • Diagnosis and Management of Human Cytomegalovirus Infection in the Mother, Fetus, and Newborn Infant (474 citations)
  • Human Cytomegalovirus UL131-128 Genes Are Indispensable for Virus Growth in Endothelial Cells and Virus Transfer to Leukocytes (430 citations)
  • Isolation of human monoclonal antibodies that potently neutralize human cytomegalovirus infection by targeting different epitopes on the gH/gL/UL128-131A complex. (281 citations)

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

Giuseppe Gerna focuses on Virology, Human cytomegalovirus, Immunology, Virus and Betaherpesvirinae. In his study, Glycoprotein is strongly linked to Antibody, which falls under the umbrella field of Virology. His Human cytomegalovirus research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Congenital cytomegalovirus infection, Ganciclovir, Viremia and Viral disease, Herpesviridae.

His work carried out in the field of Immunology brings together such families of science as Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and Transplantation. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Virus, Mutation is strongly linked to Molecular biology. His research investigates the connection with Betaherpesvirinae and areas like Pregnancy which intersect with concerns in Obstetrics.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Virology (69.29%)
  • Human cytomegalovirus (57.68%)
  • Immunology (47.94%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2008-2021)?

  • Human cytomegalovirus (57.68%)
  • Immunology (47.94%)
  • Virology (69.29%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Human cytomegalovirus, Immunology, Virology, CD8 and Virus. His Human cytomegalovirus research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Pregnancy, Fetus, Immune system, Immunity and Antibody. The various areas that Giuseppe Gerna examines in his Immunology study include Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and Transplantation.

Giuseppe Gerna interconnects Epitope, Antigen, Phylogenetics, Gene and Disease in the investigation of issues within Virology. He has researched CD8 in several fields, including Cytotoxic T cell and T cell. His Virus research focuses on Molecular biology and how it connects with RNA-Directed DNA Polymerase, Viral replication, Stop codon, Reverse transcriptase and RNA.

Between 2008 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Isolation of human monoclonal antibodies that potently neutralize human cytomegalovirus infection by targeting different epitopes on the gH/gL/UL128-131A complex. (281 citations)
  • Are Human P[14] Rotavirus Strains the Result of Interspecies Transmissions from Sheep or Other Ungulates That Belong to the Mammalian Order Artiodactyla? (175 citations)
  • Fetal human cytomegalovirus transmission correlates with delayed maternal antibodies to gH/gL/pUL128-130-131 complex during primary infection. (141 citations)

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

  • Virus
  • Gene
  • Internal medicine

Giuseppe Gerna mainly focuses on Virology, Human cytomegalovirus, Antibody, Immunology and Virus. His research integrates issues of Phylogenetics, Picornavirus and Respiratory tract infections in his study of Virology. His research in Human cytomegalovirus intersects with topics in Tropism, Cell culture and Immunity.

His Antibody research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Viral entry and Antigen. His studies link Bronchoalveolar lavage with Immunology. When carried out as part of a general Virus research project, his work on Betaherpesvirinae and Herpesviridae is frequently linked to work in Comparative evaluation, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.
