Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Immune system

His primary areas of study are Microbiology, Surfactant protein A, Pulmonary surfactant, Pulmonary Surfactant-Associated Protein A and Collectin. His Microbiology study incorporates themes from In vitro, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacteria, Lung and Virulence. His Surfactant protein A research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Alveolar macrophage, Innate immune system, Immunology and Cell biology.

His Pulmonary surfactant study combines topics in areas such as Internal medicine and Lung injury. His work focuses on many connections between Collectin and other disciplines, such as Surfactant protein D, that overlap with his field of interest in SFTPA2 and Phagocytosis. His work on Liposome as part of his general Biochemistry study is frequently connected to Phosphatidylcholine, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science.

His most cited work include:

  • Immunoregulatory functions of surfactant proteins. (742 citations)
  • Surfactant proteins a and d and pulmonary host defense. (554 citations)
  • Same-sex mating and the origin of the Vancouver Island Cryptococcus gattii outbreak (434 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Surfactant protein A, Immunology, Pulmonary surfactant, Cell biology and Microbiology. His work carried out in the field of Surfactant protein A brings together such families of science as Innate immune system, Collectin, Immune system and Phagocytosis. His work deals with themes such as Mycoplasma pneumoniae and Bronchoalveolar lavage, Lung, which intersect with Immunology.

His work carried out in the field of Pulmonary surfactant brings together such families of science as Liposome and Pulmonary alveolus, In vitro, Macrophage. His Cell biology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both T cell and Cytokine. His research in Microbiology intersects with topics in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacteria and Host.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Surfactant protein A (47.01%)
  • Immunology (36.75%)
  • Pulmonary surfactant (31.62%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2016)?

  • Immunology (36.75%)
  • Surfactant protein A (47.01%)
  • Inflammation (17.95%)

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

Jo Rae Wright mostly deals with Immunology, Surfactant protein A, Inflammation, Immune system and Mycoplasma pneumoniae. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Bronchoalveolar lavage, Lung injury and Bioinformatics. His Surfactant protein A study is related to the wider topic of Lung.

His research integrates issues of Lipopolysaccharide, Pulmonary Surfactant-Associated Protein A, Nitric oxide and Eosinophil in his study of Inflammation. Jo Rae Wright works on Immune system which deals in particular with Collectin. His Innate immune system research includes themes of Aspergillosis and Microbiology, Hypha.

Between 2009 and 2016, his most popular works were:

  • Surfactant protein-D regulates effector cell function and fibrotic lung remodeling in response to bleomycin injury. (56 citations)
  • The Role of Surfactant Protein A in Bleomycin-induced Acute Lung Injury (55 citations)
  • Surfactant protein A is defective in abrogating inflammation in asthma. (38 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Immune system

Immunology, Surfactant protein A, Lung, Inflammation and Immune system are his primary areas of study. His work in Immunology addresses subjects such as Bronchoalveolar lavage, which are connected to disciplines such as Lung injury, Intensive care and Pharmacology. Jo Rae Wright has researched Surfactant protein A in several fields, including Toll-like receptor, TLR2, Chemotaxis, Macrophage chemotaxis and Interleukin 8.

His work in the fields of Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and Pulmonary Surfactant-Associated Protein A overlaps with other areas such as Bleomycin. Jo Rae Wright has included themes like Acquired immune system, Collectin, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Mycoplasma pneumonia and Opsonin in his Inflammation study. Many of his research projects under Immune system are closely connected to Interleukin 5 with Interleukin 5, tying the diverse disciplines of science together.
