Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Immune system
  • Gene

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Immunology, Cytokine, Immune system, Internal medicine and Molecular biology. His works in Interferon gamma, Interleukin 2, Herpesviridae, Interferon and Alpha interferon are all subjects of inquiry into Immunology. His Cytokine research includes themes of Tumor necrosis factor alpha, Lymphokine, Stimulation, Monocyte and Proinflammatory cytokine.

His study in Immune system is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Interleukin 12, Peripheral blood mononuclear cell, Haptoglobin and Melancholia. His studies in Internal medicine integrate themes in fields like Endocrinology and Schizophrenia. His Molecular biology research incorporates elements of In vitro, Tissue culture, T cell, Genotyping and Primer.

His most cited work include:

  • Antiviral effects of recombinant tumour necrosis factor in vitro (330 citations)
  • Altered cytokine production in the elderly (309 citations)
  • Association between clinical disease activity and Epstein–Barr virus reactivation in MS (231 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Immunology, Interferon, Virology, Molecular biology and Cytokine. Holger Kirchner has researched Immunology in several fields, including Peripheral blood mononuclear cell and Internal medicine. His Interferon research focuses on subjects like In vitro, which are linked to Cancer research.

His research integrates issues of Antibody and Polymerase chain reaction in his study of Virology. The concepts of his Molecular biology study are interwoven with issues in Cell culture, T cell, Spleen, Stimulation and Monoclonal antibody. His research in Cytokine intersects with topics in Tumor necrosis factor alpha, Endocrinology and Superantigen.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Immunology (53.35%)
  • Interferon (25.95%)
  • Virology (24.78%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1997-2013)?

  • Immunology (53.35%)
  • Internal medicine (13.41%)
  • Cytokine (20.70%)

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

His main research concerns Immunology, Internal medicine, Cytokine, Immune system and Virology. Holger Kirchner has included themes like Peripheral blood mononuclear cell and Haematopoiesis in his Immunology study. Holger Kirchner combines subjects such as Gastroenterology, Endocrinology, Diphtheria and Schizophrenia with his study of Internal medicine.

His work carried out in the field of Cytokine brings together such families of science as Tumor necrosis factor alpha and Proinflammatory cytokine. His Virology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Messenger RNA and Polymerase chain reaction. His Virus course of study focuses on Interferon and Bioassay.

Between 1997 and 2013, his most popular works were:

  • Altered cytokine production in the elderly (309 citations)
  • Association between clinical disease activity and Epstein–Barr virus reactivation in MS (231 citations)
  • Zinc-Altered Immune Function and Cytokine Production (182 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Immune system
  • Gene

Holger Kirchner focuses on Immunology, Cytokine, Internal medicine, Immune system and Endocrinology. Immunology is frequently linked to Transplantation in his study. His Cytokine study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Tumor necrosis factor alpha, Cyclosporin a, Proinflammatory cytokine and T lymphocyte.

His Internal medicine study incorporates themes from Gastroenterology, Schizophrenia and Vaccination. His Immune system study combines topics in areas such as Melancholia and Depression. His studies examine the connections between Endocrinology and genetics, as well as such issues in Pathogenesis, with regards to Interleukine 2, Gamma interferon and Schizophrenia.
