1977 - Fellow of the American Academy of Microbiology DNA Viruses

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Virus
  • Gene
  • DNA

John L. Gerin mainly focuses on Virology, Hepatitis B virus, Virus, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis. The concepts of his Virology study are interwoven with issues in RNA, Molecular biology and Antigen. His specific area of interest is Hepatitis B virus, where John L. Gerin studies HBsAg.

His research investigates the connection with Virus and areas like Genotype which intersect with concerns in Coinfection. His study in Hepatitis B is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Viral hepatitis and Polymerase. His studies in Hepatitis integrate themes in fields like Vector, Hepatitis D and Vaccination.

His most cited work include:

  • DNA polymerase associated with human hepatitis B antigen. (610 citations)
  • Structure, sequence and expression of the hepatitis delta ( δ ) viral genome (517 citations)
  • Type B Hepatitis: The Infectivity of Blood Positive for E Antigen and DNA Polymerase after Accidental Needlestick Exposure (330 citations)

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

John L. Gerin focuses on Virology, Virus, Hepatitis B virus, Immunology and Hepatitis. His Virology study incorporates themes from Molecular biology and Antigen. His research in Antigen intersects with topics in Hepatitis delta Antigens and Monoclonal antibody.

The Virus study combines topics in areas such as RNA, Immune system and Vaccination. His research is interdisciplinary, bridging the disciplines of Viremia and Hepatitis B virus. His Hepatitis research also works with subjects such as

  • Hepatitis D and related Hepatitis D virus,
  • Liver biopsy that connect with fields like Immunofluorescence.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Virology (97.58%)
  • Virus (57.49%)
  • Hepatitis B virus (56.04%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2001-2020)?

  • Virology (97.58%)
  • Woodchuck hepatitis virus (29.95%)
  • Hepatitis B virus (56.04%)

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

John L. Gerin mostly deals with Virology, Woodchuck hepatitis virus, Hepatitis B virus, Immunology and Virus. His research in Virology tackles topics such as Antigen which are related to areas like Antibody. His studies deal with areas such as Hepatocellular carcinoma, Viral load, Immune system and Orthohepadnavirus as well as Woodchuck hepatitis virus.

John L. Gerin has researched Hepatitis B virus in several fields, including Viremia, DNA, Oncovirus and Hepatitis. His Virus research includes themes of Cellular immunity, Internal medicine, Hepatology and Molecular biology. John L. Gerin focuses mostly in the field of Hepatitis B, narrowing it down to matters related to Hepatitis delta Antigens and, in some cases, Cytoplasmic Structure, Hepatitis C, Cytoplasm and Immunoglobulin M.

Between 2001 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Hepatocellular carcinoma in the woodchuck model of hepatitis B virus infection (115 citations)
  • Native hepatitis B virions and capsids visualized by electron cryomicroscopy. (112 citations)
  • Histologic studies of severe delta agent infection in Venezuelan Indians. (84 citations)

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

  • Virus
  • Gene
  • DNA

His main research concerns Virology, Hepatitis B, Woodchuck hepatitis virus, Immunology and Hepatitis B virus. Virology is a component of his Virus, Viral hepatitis, HBsAg and Hepatitis studies. The concepts of his Virus study are interwoven with issues in Immune system and Vaccination.

His Hepatitis B study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Viral envelope, Cytoplasmic Structure and Hbsag carrier. His Woodchuck hepatitis virus study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Hepatocellular carcinoma, Viral load and Antigen. His Hepatitis B virus research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Polymerase, DNA, In vitro, Cryo-electron microscopy and Capsid.
