Overview

Judith M. White is affiliated with the University of Virginia in the United States and has focused their research primarily in the field of medicine, specifically within infectious diseases, neurology, anesthesiology and pain medicine, epidemiology, and molecular biology. Their body of work spans multiple significant topics including pain management and treatment, viral infections and outbreaks research, transcranial magnetic stimulation studies, SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 research, botulinum toxin and related neurological disorders, lipid membrane structure and behavior, and influenza virus research studies.

Some of the recent papers authored by Judith M. White include:

  • Drug Combinations as a First Line of Defense against Coronaviruses and Other Emerging Viruses (2021, mBio)
  • Viral Membrane Fusion: A Dance Between Proteins and Lipids (2023, Annual Review of Virology)

Their frequent collaborators include Erika Petersen, Thomas Stauss, James Scowcroft, Shawn Sills, and Kasra Amirdelfan, indicating a collaborative approach to research across various topics.

Judith M. White has published extensively in several key venues, such as:

  • Neuromodulation Technology at the Neural Interface
  • Neurology
  • bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
  • Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy
  • Biophysical Journal

The scientist's research output covers a substantial number of publications related to medicine, with a strong emphasis on infectious diseases and neurological studies. Their work on viral membrane fusion and antiviral drug combinations reflects a focus on viral infection mechanisms and potential therapeutic strategies.

Judith M. White's research contributes knowledge on viral interactions at the molecular level, especially in the context of emerging viruses such as coronaviruses. This involves studying membrane fusion processes which are critical for virus entry into host cells, as well as drug combination approaches to viral suppression.
