Fellow of The Academy of Medical Sciences, United Kingdom

Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Immune system
  • Virus

Her primary areas of investigation include Immunology, Virology, Tuberculosis, Tuberculosis vaccines and Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Her research in Vaccination, BCG vaccine, Antigen, Immunogenicity and Immune system are components of Immunology. Her studies deal with areas such as Vaccinia and ELISPOT as well as Virology.

Her research integrates issues of Heterologous, Disease and Immunity in her study of Tuberculosis. The Tuberculosis vaccines study combines topics in areas such as Internal medicine, Clinical trial and Vaccine evaluation. Helen McShane interconnects CD8 and Interferon gamma in the investigation of issues within Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Her most cited work include:

  • Safety and efficacy of MVA85A, a new tuberculosis vaccine, in infants previously vaccinated with BCG: a randomised, placebo-controlled phase 2b trial (729 citations)
  • Recombinant modified vaccinia virus Ankara expressing antigen 85A boosts BCG-primed and naturally acquired antimycobacterial immunity in humans. (528 citations)
  • Rapid Detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Infection by Enumeration of Antigen-specific T Cells (411 citations)

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

Helen McShane focuses on Immunology, Tuberculosis, Vaccination, Tuberculosis vaccines and Virology. Her Immunology study frequently draws connections between related disciplines such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Her work investigates the relationship between Tuberculosis and topics such as Clinical trial that intersect with problems in Pediatrics.

Her study in Vaccination is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Regimen, Randomized controlled trial, Immunization, Immunity and Modified vaccinia Ankara. Her studies in Tuberculosis vaccines integrate themes in fields like Global health, Viral Vaccine and Adverse effect. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Heterologous, Vaccinia, Mycobacterium bovis and Viral vector.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Immunology (70.61%)
  • Tuberculosis (60.00%)
  • Vaccination (42.45%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Tuberculosis (60.00%)
  • Immunology (70.61%)
  • Vaccination (42.45%)

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

Tuberculosis, Immunology, Vaccination, Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Immune system are her primary areas of study. Her Tuberculosis research integrates issues from Clinical trial, T cell, CD8, Intensive care medicine and Nasal administration. Helen McShane studies Immunology, namely Vaccine efficacy.

Her Vaccination study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Cellular immunity, Family medicine, Lung, Antigen presentation and Parenchyma. Her research in Mycobacterium tuberculosis intersects with topics in Pathogen, Virology, Immunogenicity, Bronchoalveolar lavage and Immune protection. Her Immune system research incorporates themes from Antibody, Viral vector and Antigen.

Between 2018 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Nitric Oxide Modulates Metabolic Remodeling in Inflammatory Macrophages through TCA Cycle Regulation and Itaconate Accumulation (50 citations)
  • COVID-19 Vaccine Hesitancy in the UK: The Oxford Coronavirus Explanations, Attitudes, and Narratives Survey (OCEANS) II. (46 citations)
  • The Humoral Immune Response to BCG Vaccination. (33 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Immune system
  • Virus

Helen McShane mostly deals with Tuberculosis, Vaccination, Immunology, Intensive care medicine and Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The Vaccination study which covers Immune system that intersects with Viral vector, Virology and Pulmonary tb. Her Immunology study combines topics in areas such as Regimen and Adverse effect.

Her Intensive care medicine research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Tuberculosis vaccines, Clinical trial and Licensure. The study incorporates disciplines such as Causative organism and Immune mechanisms in addition to Tuberculosis vaccines. She has included themes like Lung, Antigen presentation, Parenchyma and Nasal administration in her Mycobacterium tuberculosis study.
