What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Virus
  • Internal medicine
  • Gene

Kwok-Yung Yuen mainly focuses on Virology, Coronavirus, Immunology, Virus and Internal medicine. His study in Virology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Pandemic and Antibody. Kwok-Yung Yuen has included themes like Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus, Pneumonia, Severe acute respiratory syndrome, Coronaviridae and Betacoronavirus in his Coronavirus study.

Kwok-Yung Yuen regularly ties together related areas like Disease in his Immunology studies. His research in Virus tackles topics such as Genome which are related to areas like Phylogenetic tree. His Internal medicine study combines topics in areas such as Gastroenterology, Surgery and Intensive care.

His most cited work include:

  • A familial cluster of pneumonia associated with the 2019 novel coronavirus indicating person-to-person transmission: a study of a family cluster. (4224 citations)
  • Clinical progression and viral load in a community outbreak of coronavirus-associated SARS pneumonia: a prospective study. (1697 citations)
  • Temporal profiles of viral load in posterior oropharyngeal saliva samples and serum antibody responses during infection by SARS-CoV-2: an observational cohort study. (1668 citations)

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

Kwok-Yung Yuen mainly investigates Virology, Microbiology, Immunology, Virus and Coronavirus. His Virology research includes themes of Antibody and Genome. Kwok-Yung Yuen has researched Microbiology in several fields, including Penicillium marneffei and 16S ribosomal RNA, Bacteria.

In most of his Immunology studies, his work intersects topics such as Internal medicine. His Virus study contributes to a more complete understanding of Genetics. His Coronavirus research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Coronaviridae and Pneumonia.

He most often published in these fields:
