Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Bacteria
  • Genetics

His primary areas of study are Blastocystis, Microbiology, Immunology, Polymerase chain reaction and Zoology. Kevin S. W. Tan applies his multidisciplinary studies on Blastocystis and Identification in his research. His Protozoa study in the realm of Microbiology interacts with subjects such as Immunoglobulin A.

His Immunology research incorporates elements of Cell culture, Programmed cell death and Virulence. His study in Polymerase chain reaction is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Genetic variation and Genetic diversity. The concepts of his Zoology study are interwoven with issues in Evolutionary biology, Organism, Protozoan parasite, Blastocystis Infections and Animal model.

His most cited work include:

  • Guidelines for the use and interpretation of assays for monitoring autophagy (3242 citations)
  • New insights on classification, identification, and clinical relevance of Blastocystis spp. (421 citations)
  • Haem-activated promiscuous targeting of artemisinin in Plasmodium falciparum (278 citations)

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

Kevin S. W. Tan mainly focuses on Blastocystis, Microbiology, Plasmodium falciparum, Malaria and Cell biology. His Blastocystis research integrates issues from Genetics, Protozoa, Apoptosis, Programmed cell death and Immunology. He interconnects Cell culture, Gut flora, Lobosea and Virulence in the investigation of issues within Microbiology.

His work deals with themes such as Chloroquine, Red blood cell, Drug and Drug discovery, which intersect with Plasmodium falciparum. His Malaria research incorporates themes from In vitro, Pharmacology, Family medicine and Virology. The Cell biology study combines topics in areas such as Autophagy, Cell, Cytoskeleton and Trypanosoma brucei.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Blastocystis (48.80%)
  • Microbiology (28.80%)
  • Plasmodium falciparum (24.80%)

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

  • Malaria (21.60%)
  • Plasmodium falciparum (24.80%)
  • Blastocystis (48.80%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Malaria, Plasmodium falciparum, Blastocystis, Microbiology and Virology. The study incorporates disciplines such as In vitro and Pharmacology in addition to Malaria. His research in Plasmodium falciparum intersects with topics in IC50, Drug and Biochemistry, Drug discovery.

Blastocystis and Electron micrographs are two areas of study in which Kevin S. W. Tan engages in interdisciplinary research. His work in the fields of Microbiology, such as Drug resistance, intersects with other areas such as Global distribution. His Virology study combines topics in areas such as Mode of action, Chemokine receptor and Toxoplasma gondii.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Pathogenic mechanisms in Blastocystis spp. - Interpreting results from in vitro and in vivo studies. (58 citations)
  • Interactions between a pathogenic Blastocystis subtype and gut microbiota: in vitro and in vivo studies (31 citations)
  • Interactions between a pathogenic Blastocystis subtype and gut microbiota: in vitro and in vivo studies (31 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Bacteria
  • Genetics

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Malaria, Plasmodium falciparum, Blastocystis, Microbiology and Virology. Many of his research projects under Malaria are closely connected to Antiparasitic agent with Antiparasitic agent, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. His work in the fields of Chloroquine resistance overlaps with other areas such as Phenotypic screening.

His study looks at the intersection of Blastocystis and topics like Mucin with Interleukin 8, Intestinal permeability and Proinflammatory cytokine. Kevin S. W. Tan has researched Microbiology in several fields, including Red blood cell, Spiroindolone, Lactobacillus, Bacteria and Dysbiosis. Kevin S. W. Tan combines subjects such as In vitro, Plasmodium cynomolgi, Malaria transmission, Apicoplast and Drug discovery with his study of Virology.
