  • Epitope (60.00%)

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

Virology, Antibody, Epitope, Neutralization and Coronavirus are his primary areas of study. In his work, Computational biology is strongly intertwined with Glycoprotein, which is a subfield of Virology. In Epitope, he works on issues like Monoclonal, which are connected to Entry into host.

He performs multidisciplinary study on Coronavirus and Viral entry in his works. The concepts of his Viral entry study are interwoven with issues in Antigenicity and Ectodomain. His Ectodomain study incorporates themes from Viral Receptor and Viral protein.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Structure, Function, and Antigenicity of the SARS-CoV-2 Spike Glycoprotein. (3298 citations)
  • Structure, Function, and Antigenicity of the SARS-CoV-2 Spike Glycoprotein. (3298 citations)
  • Cross-neutralization of SARS-CoV-2 by a human monoclonal SARS-CoV antibody. (585 citations)

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

  • Virus
  • Gene
  • RNA

M. Alejandra Tortorici mostly deals with Virology, Epitope, Antibody, Coronavirus and Neutralization. M. Alejandra Tortorici connects Virology with Furin in his research. His Epitope research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Serology, Affinity maturation and Nucleoprotein.

His study in Antibody is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both HEK 293 cells and Entry into host. Among his Coronavirus studies, there is a synthesis of other scientific areas such as Antigenicity, Ectodomain, Viral entry, Viral Receptor and Viral protein. His Neutralization research includes elements of Vesicular stomatitis virus and Monoclonal antibody.
