Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Immune system
  • Cytokine

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Immunology, Cell biology, Tumor necrosis factor alpha, Particle physics and Molecular biology. His studies in Immunology integrate themes in fields like Cytotoxic T cell and Cancer research. His Cell biology study combines topics in areas such as Cell, CD40, Antigen-presenting cell, CD28 and Programmed cell death.

Bone marrow is closely connected to Graft-versus-host disease in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Tumor necrosis factor alpha. His Particle physics research includes themes of Nuclear physics, Oscillation and Cherenkov detector. Ko Okumura usually deals with Antibody and limits it to topics linked to Antigen and Pathology.

His most cited work include:

  • Evidence for oscillation of atmospheric neutrinos (3216 citations)
  • Expression of Programmed Death 1 Ligands by Murine T Cells and APC (761 citations)
  • Involvement of tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand in surveillance of tumor metastasis by liver natural killer cells. (623 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Immunology, Molecular biology, Cell biology, Antibody and Immune system. His study in Immunoglobulin E, Antigen, Monoclonal antibody, T cell and Cytokine is done as part of Immunology. Ko Okumura has researched Immunoglobulin E in several fields, including Receptor and Allergy.

While the research belongs to areas of Molecular biology, Ko Okumura spends his time largely on the problem of Transcription factor, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Transcription. His work deals with themes such as Mast cell and Apoptosis, which intersect with Cell biology. His work carried out in the field of Interleukin 21 brings together such families of science as Interleukin 12 and Antigen-presenting cell.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Immunology (41.91%)
  • Molecular biology (24.98%)
  • Cell biology (16.27%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2021)?

  • Immunology (41.91%)
  • Neutrino (8.71%)
  • Cell biology (16.27%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Immunology, Neutrino, Cell biology, Particle physics and Nuclear physics. His research in Immunology focuses on subjects like Protease, which are connected to Epicutaneous sensitization. Ko Okumura interconnects Energy, Electron and Cherenkov detector in the investigation of issues within Neutrino.

His Cell biology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Mast cell, Chemokine, Receptor and Cytokine. His Receptor study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Cell culture and Antibody. His Nuclear physics research incorporates elements of Beam and Cross section.

Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Measurements of neutrino oscillation in appearance and disappearance channels by the T2K experiment with 6.6E20 protons on target (240 citations)
  • A pilot study of operational tolerance with a regulatory T-cell-based cell therapy in living donor liver transplantation. (192 citations)
  • Constraint on the matter–antimatter symmetry-violating phase in neutrino oscillations (153 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Immune system
  • Internal medicine

Ko Okumura focuses on Neutrino, Particle physics, Immunology, Neutrino oscillation and Nuclear physics. His Neutrino research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Neutron, Nucleon and Cherenkov detector. As part of the same scientific family, Ko Okumura usually focuses on Particle physics, concentrating on Proton and intersecting with Proton Synchrotron and J-PARC.

His study connects Cell biology and Immunology. The study incorporates disciplines such as Standard Model, CP violation and Lepton in addition to Neutrino oscillation. His work in the fields of Nuclear physics, such as Solar neutrino problem, overlaps with other areas such as Early career.
