Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • DNA

Her main research concerns Cryptococcus neoformans, Microbiology, Gene, Fungal protein and Biochemistry. Her Cryptococcus neoformans study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Mutation and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Her study in Microbiology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Genetically modified crops, Transgene, Phytolacca americana, Virus and Transformation.

Genetics covers she research in Gene. Jennifer K. Lodge works mostly in the field of Fungal protein, limiting it down to topics relating to Oxidative stress and, in certain cases, Oxidative phosphorylation, Reactive oxygen species, Signal transduction and Immunology. Her Gene prediction and Genomic organization study in the realm of Genome connects with subjects such as Alternative splicing.

Her most cited work include:

  • The Genome of the Basidiomycetous Yeast and Human Pathogen Cryptococcus Neoformans (626 citations)
  • Analysis of the Genome and Transcriptome of Cryptococcus neoformans var. grubii Reveals Complex RNA Expression and Microevolution Leading to Virulence Attenuation (260 citations)
  • Broad-spectrum virus resistance in transgenic plants expressing pokeweed antiviral protein (250 citations)

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

Jennifer K. Lodge spends much of her time researching Cryptococcus neoformans, Microbiology, Gene, Virulence and Biochemistry. Her Cryptococcus neoformans research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Chitosan, Mutant, Fungal protein, Cryptococcus and Cell wall. Her study explores the link between Cell wall and topics such as Chitin that cross with problems in Yeast.

Her work deals with themes such as Oxidative stress, Immune system and Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which intersect with Microbiology. Her Gene study necessitates a more in-depth grasp of Genetics. Her work on Virulence factor as part of general Virulence research is frequently linked to Population, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Cryptococcus neoformans (67.90%)
  • Microbiology (49.38%)
  • Gene (29.63%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2015-2020)?

  • Cryptococcus neoformans (67.90%)
  • Virulence (28.40%)
  • Microbiology (49.38%)

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

Jennifer K. Lodge mostly deals with Cryptococcus neoformans, Virulence, Microbiology, Chitin and Cell wall. Her Cryptococcus neoformans study incorporates themes from Chitosan and Cryptococcus. Her work carried out in the field of Virulence brings together such families of science as Extrachromosomal DNA, Glutaredoxin and Mutant.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Plasmid and Genome in addition to Mutant. Her Microbiology study combines topics in areas such as Fungal vaccine and Virology. Her study on Cell wall also encompasses disciplines like

  • Chitin synthase most often made with reference to Immune system,
  • Polysaccharide and related Melanin.

Between 2015 and 2020, her most popular works were:

  • Intracellular Action of a Secreted Peptide Required for Fungal Virulence. (56 citations)
  • Induction of Protective Immunity to Cryptococcal Infection in Mice by a Heat-Killed, Chitosan-Deficient Strain of Cryptococcus neoformans (48 citations)
  • Vaccination with Recombinant Cryptococcus Proteins in Glucan Particles Protects Mice against Cryptococcosis in a Manner Dependent upon Mouse Strain and Cryptococcal Species. (33 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • DNA

Her primary scientific interests are in Virulence, Microbiology, Cryptococcus neoformans, Population and Virology. The various areas that Jennifer K. Lodge examines in her Virulence study include Chitosan, Chitin, Chitin deacetylase, Mutant and Polysaccharide. Her study brings together the fields of Cell wall and Microbiology.

A majority of her Population research is a blend of other scientific areas, such as Quorum sensing, Proinflammatory cytokine, T cell, Acquired immune system and Cell signaling. Her Virology research incorporates themes from Cryptococcus gattii, Cryptococcus, Cryptococcosis and Fungal vaccine. Her research links Antigen with Fungal vaccine.
