Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Virus
  • Internal medicine
  • Gene

Hiroshi Kimura focuses on Immunology, Virology, Virus, Herpesviridae and Chronic active EBV infection. His Immunology research focuses on subjects like Transplantation, which are linked to Cord blood and Human herpesvirus 6. The concepts of his Virology study are interwoven with issues in T cell, Cytotoxic T cell and Polymerase chain reaction.

His study in Virus is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Encephalopathy and Cerebrospinal fluid. His Herpesviridae research incorporates themes from Real-time polymerase chain reaction and Human cytomegalovirus. His Chronic active EBV infection research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Natural killer cell, Immune system, Hydroa vacciniforme, Lymphoma and Mononucleosis.

His most cited work include:

  • Quantitative Analysis of Epstein-Barr Virus Load by Using a Real-Time PCR Assay (521 citations)
  • Phase II Study of SMILE Chemotherapy for Newly Diagnosed Stage IV, Relapsed, or Refractory Extranodal Natural Killer (NK)/T-Cell Lymphoma, Nasal Type: The NK-Cell Tumor Study Group Study (385 citations)
  • Clinical and virologic characteristics of chronic active Epstein-Barr virus infection (336 citations)

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

Hiroshi Kimura spends much of his time researching Virology, Immunology, Virus, Epstein–Barr virus and Herpesviridae. His research integrates issues of Molecular biology, Real-time polymerase chain reaction and Polymerase chain reaction in his study of Virology. Many of his studies on Immunology apply to Transplantation as well.

Hiroshi Kimura has researched Virus in several fields, including Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, Disease, Gene and Pathogenesis. The Epstein–Barr virus study which covers Lymphoma that intersects with Leukemia. He has included themes like Natural killer cell, Cytotoxic T cell and Hydroa vacciniforme in his Chronic active EBV infection study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Virology (45.37%)
  • Immunology (43.88%)
  • Virus (36.12%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Virus (36.12%)
  • Epstein–Barr virus (30.15%)
  • Virology (45.37%)

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

His primary areas of study are Virus, Epstein–Barr virus, Virology, Immunology and Lytic cycle. His Virus research includes elements of Viral tegument, Gene and Lymphoma. His studies in Epstein–Barr virus integrate themes in fields like Cytoplasm, Cell biology, Mutant, B cell and BZLF1.

Many of his studies on Virology apply to DNA replication as well. His Immunology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis and Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. In Chronic active EBV infection, he works on issues like Lymphoproliferative disorders, which are connected to Epstein–Barr virus infection.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Defective Epstein-Barr virus in chronic active infection and haematological malignancy. (60 citations)
  • Epstein-Barr Virus Type 2 Latently Infects T Cells, Inducing an Atypical Activation Characterized by Expression of Lymphotactic Cytokines (60 citations)
  • Chronic Active Epstein-Barr Virus Disease. (48 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Internal medicine
  • Virus

Hiroshi Kimura mainly investigates Immunology, Epstein–Barr virus, Virus, Lytic cycle and Virology. His work on Immunology is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as Disease. The Virus study combines topics in areas such as Peripheral blood mononuclear cell, Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, Aggressive NK-cell leukemia and Lymphoma.

His Lytic cycle research also works with subjects such as

  • Gene, which have a strong connection to Viral replication and Molecular biology,
  • Cell biology that connect with fields like Infectivity, Expression vector and EZH2. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Virology, BZLF1, Immediate early protein, CD8 and Lymphocyte is strongly linked to Lymphoproliferative disorders. Hiroshi Kimura combines subjects such as Leukemia and Chronic active EBV infection with his study of Extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type.
