Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome
  • Internal medicine

Joshua Kimani spends much of his time researching Immunology, Virology, Immune system, Virus and Sexually transmitted disease. His Immunology study frequently links to related topics such as Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. His Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome study combines topics in areas such as Number needed to treat, Prospective cohort study, Clinical trial and Immunopathology.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Immunity, Gene, Epitope, Innate immune system and CTL* in addition to Virology. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including HIV vaccine and Lymphocyte. The Sexually transmitted disease study combines topics in areas such as Cellular immunity, Peptide sequence and Chlamydia trachomatis.

His most cited work include:

  • Effects of a mobile phone short message service on antiretroviral treatment adherence in Kenya (WelTel Kenya1): a randomised trial (923 citations)
  • Effects of a mobile phone short message service on antiretroviral treatment adherence in Kenya (WelTel Kenya1): a randomised trial (923 citations)
  • Resistance to HIV-1 infection among persistently seronegative prostitutes in Nairobi, Kenya (411 citations)

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

Joshua Kimani mainly investigates Immunology, Virology, Immune system, Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and Cohort. His Immunology study often links to related topics such as Cytotoxic T cell. His Virology research includes elements of Epitope and Human leukocyte antigen.

His Immune system research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Inflammation, Proinflammatory cytokine, Antibody and Antigen. His research in Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome tackles topics such as Family medicine which are related to areas like Female sex. He combines subjects such as Sex workers, Seroconversion, Cohort study and Genotype with his study of Cohort.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Immunology (59.93%)
  • Virology (36.36%)
  • Immune system (29.97%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Immunology (59.93%)
  • Demography (12.12%)
  • Men who have sex with men (7.74%)

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

Immunology, Demography, Men who have sex with men, Inflammation and Physiology are his primary areas of study. In Immunology, Joshua Kimani works on issues like Bacterial vaginosis, which are connected to Vaginal infections. Joshua Kimani has included themes like T cell and Cell in his Inflammation study.

His work in HIV vaccine tackles topics such as Social stigma which are related to areas like Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and Stigma. The various areas that Joshua Kimani examines in his Immune system study include Hydroxychloroquine, Mucous membrane and Viral load. He interconnects Seroconversion and Virology in the investigation of issues within Sex workers.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Integrin α4β7 expression on peripheral blood CD4+ T cells predicts HIV acquisition and disease progression outcomes (55 citations)
  • Integrin α4β7 expression on peripheral blood CD4+ T cells predicts HIV acquisition and disease progression outcomes (55 citations)
  • Subtype-Specific Differences in Gag- Protease-Driven Replication Capacity Are Consistent with Intersubtype Differences in HIV-1 Disease Progression (27 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome
  • Internal medicine

Joshua Kimani focuses on Immunology, Immune system, Inflammation, Hormone and Physiology. His research in Immunology is mostly concerned with Pathogenesis. His work deals with themes such as Mucous membrane and Viral load, which intersect with Immune system.

His Viral load study which covers T cell that intersects with Disease progression. Joshua Kimani focuses mostly in the field of Inflammation, narrowing it down to topics relating to Sex organ and, in certain cases, Phenotype. His study on Virus is covered under Virology.
