Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genetics

Her primary areas of study are Pneumocystis carinii, Microbiology, Gene, Genetics and Immunology. Particularly relevant to Pneumocystis wakefieldiae is her body of work in Pneumocystis carinii. Her Microbiology research integrates issues from Cyst, In vitro, Molecular epidemiology and Virulence.

Her In vitro study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Cell culture, Staining and Cell morphology. Her work on Locus, Sequence analysis and Ribosomal RNA as part of general Genetics study is frequently linked to Saccharomycotina and Sister group, bridging the gap between disciplines. Her work on Immune system, Lymphocytopenia and Spleen as part of general Immunology research is frequently linked to Engineering ethics, bridging the gap between disciplines.

Her most cited work include:

  • Pneumocystis carinii: sequence from ribosomal RNA implies a close relationship with fungi. (155 citations)
  • Reliability of calcein acetoxy methyl ester and ethidium homodimer or propidium iodide for viability assessment of microbes (114 citations)
  • Genetic stability and diversity of Pneumocystis carinii infecting rat colonies. (107 citations)

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

Her main research concerns Pneumocystis carinii, Microbiology, Virology, Immunology and Pneumocystis pneumonia. The Pneumocystis carinii study combines topics in areas such as Genetics, In vitro, Genome, Biochemistry and Gene. Her Microbiology research incorporates themes from Cyst, Biological activity and Ergosterol.

Her Virology study incorporates themes from Antigen and Polymerase chain reaction. She combines subjects such as Lung, Pneumonia and Pneumonia with her study of Immunology. Her Pneumocystis pneumonia study combines topics in areas such as Pharmacokinetics, Echinocandin, Opportunistic infection, Pneumocystis jirovecii and Echinocandins.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Pneumocystis carinii (87.98%)
  • Microbiology (45.06%)
  • Virology (21.46%)

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

  • Pneumocystis pneumonia (16.74%)
  • Microbiology (45.06%)
  • Pharmacology (9.01%)

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

Her primary scientific interests are in Pneumocystis pneumonia, Microbiology, Pharmacology, Pneumocystis jirovecii and Immunology. Melanie T. Cushion has included themes like Pharmacokinetics, Echinocandin, Genome, Caspofungin and Dexamethasone in her Pneumocystis pneumonia study. Her work carried out in the field of Microbiology brings together such families of science as Gene, Immune system and Pneumonia.

Melanie T. Cushion interconnects Lung and Aspergillus in the investigation of issues within Immunology. Her work focuses on many connections between Inositol and other disciplines, such as Transporter, that overlap with her field of interest in Pneumocystis carinii. Pneumocystis carinii and Opportunistic infection are frequently intertwined in her study.

Between 2012 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Identification of a New Class of Antifungals Targeting the Synthesis of Fungal Sphingolipids (84 citations)
  • Identification of a New Class of Antifungals Targeting the Synthesis of Fungal Sphingolipids (84 citations)
  • The Celecoxib Derivative AR-12 Has Broad-Spectrum Antifungal Activity In Vitro and Improves the Activity of Fluconazole in a Murine Model of Cryptococcosis. (42 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

Microbiology, Pharmacology, Sphingolipid, Pneumocystis pneumonia and Cryptococcosis are her primary areas of study. In her study, Sexual reproduction, Anidulafungin and Cell biology is strongly linked to Gene, which falls under the umbrella field of Microbiology. Her research integrates issues of Pharmacotherapy, Sulfamethoxazole, Caspofungin and Pneumonia in her study of Pharmacology.

In her study, Cell morphology, Drug resistance, Virulence and Cell culture is inextricably linked to In vitro, which falls within the broad field of Sphingolipid. Her Pneumocystis pneumonia study also includes

  • Echinocandin which intersects with area such as Wright-Giemsa stain method, Echinocandins, Vaccination and Dexamethasone,
  • Lung which is related to area like Macrophage, Immune system, Pneumonia, Immunology and CD8. The various areas that she examines in her Cryptococcosis study include Cryptococcus neoformans and In vivo.
