Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Virus
  • Enzyme

Koichi Watashi focuses on Virology, Virus, Viral replication, Hepatitis B virus and Hepatitis C virus. Koichi Watashi has included themes like Cyclosporin a, Molecular biology, Immunology and Hepatocellular carcinoma in his Virology study. His work carried out in the field of Viral replication brings together such families of science as RNA, Polymerase, Endoplasmic reticulum and Organelle.

His Hepatitis B virus study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Hepatitis B, Cell culture and Pharmacology. He combines subjects such as Cell and cccDNA with his study of Cell culture. His Hepatitis C virus research incorporates elements of Infectivity and Replicon.

His most cited work include:

  • The lipid droplet is an important organelle for hepatitis C virus production. (1004 citations)
  • Cyclosporin A suppresses replication of hepatitis C virus genome in cultured hepatocytes. (486 citations)
  • Cyclophilin B Is a Functional Regulator of Hepatitis C Virus RNA Polymerase (382 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Virology, Hepatitis B virus, Virus, Hepatitis C virus and Viral replication. Koichi Watashi interconnects Cell culture and Cyclosporin a in the investigation of issues within Virology. His Hepatitis B virus research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Cell, Receptor and Cytotoxicity.

Koichi Watashi has researched Virus in several fields, including Gene silencing, Gene, Genotype and Phylogenetic tree. His studies in Hepatitis C virus integrate themes in fields like Molecular biology, Replicon and Hepatitis D virus. His research integrates issues of RNA, Alisporivir, Coronavirus and Cell biology in his study of Viral replication.

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

Koichi Watashi mainly investigates Virus, Virology, Hepatitis B virus, Coronavirus and Pharmacology. His Virus research incorporates themes from Gene silencing, Lineage, Coevolution and Genotype. The concepts of his Virology study are interwoven with issues in Promoter, Cirrhosis and Cell culture.

His Hepatitis B virus research is mostly focused on the topic cccDNA. His Coronavirus study combines topics in areas such as Immunology, Viral load and Viral replication. The Viral replication study combines topics in areas such as HIF prolyl-hydroxylase inhibitor, Hypoxia-inducible factors and Cell biology.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Multidrug treatment with nelfinavir and cepharanthine against COVID-19 (32 citations)
  • Modelling SARS-CoV-2 Dynamics: Implications for Therapy (21 citations)
  • Hepatitis B virus biology and life cycle. (11 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Virus
  • Enzyme

Virology, Hepatitis B virus, Virus, Viral load and Outbreak are his primary areas of study. His biological study focuses on Infectivity. His Hepatitis B virus study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Chronic infection, Immune system, Genome and Clone.

His Virus research integrates issues from Evolutionary biology, Coevolution, Satellite virus and Lineage, Phylogenetic tree. His work investigates the relationship between Viral load and topics such as Disease that intersect with problems in Environmental health and Host. Koichi Watashi studied Outbreak and Coronavirus that intersect with A549 cell, Hypoxia-inducible factors and Hypoxia.
