Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Biochemistry

Karin Thevissen spends much of her time researching Biochemistry, Plant defensin, Microbiology, Defensin and Candida albicans. Biochemistry is frequently linked to Raphanus in her study. Her study in Plant defensin is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Neurospora crassa, Mutant, Cell membrane and Aesculus hippocastanum.

She studies Microbiology, focusing on Antifungal in particular. Her Defensin study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Innate immune system and Antimicrobial peptides. Karin Thevissen interconnects Reactive oxygen species, Miconazole and Biofilm in the investigation of issues within Candida albicans.

Her most cited work include:

  • Guidelines for the use and interpretation of assays for monitoring autophagy (3242 citations)
  • Antimicrobial Peptides from Plants (578 citations)
  • Isolation and characterisation of plant defensins from seeds of Asteraceae, Fabaceae, Hippocastanaceae and Saxifragaceae (344 citations)

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

Her primary areas of investigation include Microbiology, Biochemistry, Candida albicans, Biofilm and Plant defensin. Her Microbiology research includes themes of Mode of action and In vivo. Her Biochemistry study focuses mostly on Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Yeast, Sphingolipid, Mutant and Peptide.

Her Candida albicans research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Reactive oxygen species and Miconazole. Her Plant defensin study is focused on Defensin in general. Her research investigates the connection between Defensin and topics such as Antimicrobial peptides that intersect with problems in Peptide sequence.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Microbiology (41.47%)
  • Biochemistry (30.41%)
  • Candida albicans (25.35%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Microbiology (41.47%)
  • Biofilm (23.96%)
  • Candida albicans (25.35%)

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

Karin Thevissen spends much of her time researching Microbiology, Biofilm, Candida albicans, Biochemistry and Plant defensin. Her work deals with themes such as Mode of action, In vitro and In vivo, which intersect with Microbiology. Her Biofilm research incorporates elements of Potentiator and Corpus albicans.

Her Candida albicans research integrates issues from Staphylococcus epidermidis, Superoxide and Escherichia coli. Karin Thevissen has researched Biochemistry in several fields, including Pathogen and Potassium channel. Her Plant defensin study introduces a deeper knowledge of Defensin.

Between 2015 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Guidelines and recommendations on yeast cell death nomenclature (78 citations)
  • In vitro methods for the evaluation of antimicrobial surface designs. (42 citations)
  • Methodologies for in vitro and in vivo evaluation of efficacy of antifungal and antibiofilm agents and surface coatings against fungal biofilms (39 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Bacteria

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Microbiology, Biofilm, Candida albicans, Antifungal and Antimicrobial. Her studies deal with areas such as Mode of action and In vivo as well as Microbiology. Her work deals with themes such as In vitro and Antimicrobial peptides, which intersect with Biofilm.

Karin Thevissen studies Candida albicans, namely Corpus albicans. Within one scientific family, she focuses on topics pertaining to Caspofungin under Corpus albicans, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Plant defensin, Raphanus and Defensin. Karin Thevissen works mostly in the field of Antimicrobial, limiting it down to concerns involving Staphylococcus aureus and, occasionally, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Antibacterial activity.
