Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Virus
  • Internal medicine
  • Cancer

Meei Li Huang mainly investigates Immunology, Virology, Virus, Viral load and Viral disease. His Immunology research includes themes of Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and Internal medicine. His Virology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Antibody and Polymerase chain reaction.

His studies deal with areas such as Gastroenterology and Real-time polymerase chain reaction as well as Virus. His work carried out in the field of Viral load brings together such families of science as BK virus, Transplantation, Kidney transplantation and Immunosuppression. Meei Li Huang studied Viral disease and Saliva that intersect with Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus, Simplexvirus, Physiology, Sex organ and Cohort.

His most cited work include:

  • Vaccine Prevention of Maternal Cytomegalovirus Infection (529 citations)
  • Late cytomegalovirus disease and mortality in recipients of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplants: importance of viral load and T-cell immunity. (489 citations)
  • Cytomegalovirus reactivation in critically ill immunocompetent patients. (425 citations)

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

Meei Li Huang mainly focuses on Virology, Immunology, Virus, Herpes simplex virus and Viral shedding. His Virology research integrates issues from Real-time polymerase chain reaction, Antibody, Polymerase chain reaction and Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. His research in Immunology intersects with topics in Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and Internal medicine.

In his study, Hemorrhagic cystitis is inextricably linked to BK virus, which falls within the broad field of Virus. His study explores the link between Herpes simplex virus and topics such as Gastroenterology that cross with problems in Aciclovir and Hazard ratio. His work in Viral shedding addresses subjects such as Sex organ, which are connected to disciplines such as Obstetrics and Pregnancy.

  • Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (9.15%)
  • Test performance (5.63%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Virology, Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, Test performance, Gold standard and 2019-20 coronavirus outbreak. His Virology research includes themes of Antibody and Metagenomics. His Antibody study combines topics in areas such as Subclinical infection, Herpes simplex virus and Cervix.

His research investigates the connection between Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 and topics such as RNA that intersect with problems in Polymerase chain reaction. Meei Li Huang usually deals with Polymerase chain reaction and limits it to topics linked to Infectious virus and Viral load. He works in the field of Virus, namely Viral shedding.

Between 2017 and 2020, his most popular works were:
