Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Virus
  • Immune system
  • Gene

Melinda A. Beck mainly focuses on Immunology, Virus, Immune system, Immunity and Inflammation. Her research on Immunology focuses in particular on Chemokine. Her Virus research entails a greater understanding of Virology.

Her study in the field of Orthomyxoviridae also crosses realms of Keshan disease. Melinda A. Beck interconnects Influenza A virus, Obesity, Antibody and Vaccination in the investigation of issues within Immune system. Her work on Macrophage inflammatory protein as part of general Inflammation study is frequently linked to CCL3, bridging the gap between disciplines.

Her most cited work include:

  • Requirement of MIP-1 Alpha for an Inflammatory Response to Viral Infection (581 citations)
  • Stress-related immune suppression: Health implications (340 citations)
  • Contrasting Effects of CCR5 and CCR2 Deficiency in the Pulmonary Inflammatory Response to Influenza A Virus (333 citations)

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

Her primary areas of study are Immunology, Virus, Immune system, Virology and Obesity. Her Infectious disease research extends to the thematically linked field of Immunology. Her Virus research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Pathogen, Myocarditis, Selenium deficiency and Virulence.

She combines subjects such as Orthomyxoviridae, Selenoprotein and Cytokine with her study of Immune system. Her work on Coxsackievirus and Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 as part of her general Virology study is frequently connected to Keshan disease and Host, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. Her Obesity research focuses on Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 and how it connects with 2019-20 coronavirus outbreak.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Immunology (59.52%)
  • Virus (44.44%)
  • Immune system (34.92%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Obesity (16.67%)
  • Immunology (59.52%)
  • Immune system (34.92%)

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

Melinda A. Beck spends much of her time researching Obesity, Immunology, Immune system, Virus and T cell. The Obesity study combines topics in areas such as Acquired immune system, Immunity, Coronavirus disease 2019, Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 and Vaccination. Melinda A. Beck does research in Immunology, focusing on Inflammation specifically.

Her study in Immune system is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Endothelial stem cell, Interferon, Receptor, Influenza A virus and Bronchoalveolar lavage. Virus is a subfield of Virology that Melinda A. Beck tackles. Her work deals with themes such as Adipose tissue, Internal medicine and Endocrinology, which intersect with T cell.

Between 2016 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Individuals with obesity and COVID-19: A global perspective on the epidemiology and biological relationships. (166 citations)
  • Increased risk of influenza among vaccinated adults who are obese (106 citations)
  • Obesity Impairs the Adaptive Immune Response to Influenza Virus. (87 citations)

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

  • Virus
  • Gene
  • Immune system

Melinda A. Beck focuses on Immunology, Obesity, T cell, Immune system and Acquired immune system. As part of her studies on Immunology, Melinda A. Beck often connects relevant areas like Essential fatty acid. She interconnects Systematic review, Epidemiology and Vaccination in the investigation of issues within Obesity.

Her research integrates issues of Adipose tissue, Adipocyte, White adipose tissue and Pathogenesis in her study of T cell. Melinda A. Beck has included themes like Virus, Respiratory virus, Adipokine and Public health in her Immune system study. Her studies deal with areas such as Hormone, Signal transduction and T cell mediated immunity as well as Acquired immune system.
