Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Virus
  • Disease

Miriam J. Alter spends much of her time researching Hepatitis C, Virology, Hepatitis C virus, Epidemiology and Transmission. Her Hepatitis C research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Family medicine, Liver disease, Disease, Public health and Prevalence. In most of her Virology studies, her work intersects topics such as Serology.

Her work carried out in the field of Hepatitis C virus brings together such families of science as Internal medicine and Incidence. Her Epidemiology research includes themes of Young adult, Cirrhosis and Risk factor. Miriam J. Alter has researched Transmission in several fields, including Infection control, Intensive care medicine, Environmental health, Chronic hemodialysis and Hepatitis B virus.

Her most cited work include:

  • An assay for circulating antibodies to a major etiologic virus of human non-A, non-B hepatitis (3065 citations)
  • The Prevalence of Hepatitis C Virus Infection in the United States, 1988 through 1994 (2804 citations)
  • Global epidemiology of hepatitis C virus infection (2311 citations)

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

Miriam J. Alter mainly focuses on Hepatitis C virus, Virology, Immunology, Hepatitis C and Hepatitis B virus. Her work in Hepatitis C virus addresses subjects such as Internal medicine, which are connected to disciplines such as Surgery. Her Virology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Serology and Antigen.

Miriam J. Alter studies Immunology, focusing on Viral disease in particular. Her Hepatitis C research incorporates themes from Cross-sectional study, Liver disease, Epidemiology and Disease. Miriam J. Alter works mostly in the field of Hepatitis B virus, limiting it down to topics relating to Hepatitis B and, in certain cases, Vaccination, Sexually transmitted disease and Environmental health.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Hepatitis C virus (46.34%)
  • Virology (39.02%)
  • Immunology (37.20%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2005-2017)?

  • Hepatitis C virus (46.34%)
  • Hepatitis C (34.76%)
  • Virology (39.02%)

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

Miriam J. Alter mostly deals with Hepatitis C virus, Hepatitis C, Virology, Internal medicine and Hemodialysis. Her Hepatitis C virus study is concerned with the field of Immunology as a whole. Her Hepatitis C research includes elements of Decompensation, Epidemiology, Incidence, Young adult and Risk factor.

Her study in the field of Hepatitis B and Viral hepatitis also crosses realms of Transmission. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Cross-sectional study and Surgery, Infection control. As part of the same scientific family, Miriam J. Alter usually focuses on Hemodialysis, concentrating on Intensive care medicine and intersecting with Serology, Hygiene and Dialysis.

Between 2005 and 2017, her most popular works were:

  • The prevalence of hepatitis C virus infection in the United States, 1999 through 2002. (1750 citations)
  • Epidemiology of hepatitis C virus infection (1081 citations)
  • A comprehensive immunization strategy to eliminate transmission of hepatitis B virus infection in the United States: recommendations of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) Part II: immunization of adults. (872 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Virus
  • Disease

Miriam J. Alter focuses on Hepatitis C, Hepatitis C virus, Virology, Incidence and Transmission. Her Hepatitis C study is related to the wider topic of Internal medicine. Her research on Virology often connects related topics like Epidemiology.

In Epidemiology, Miriam J. Alter works on issues like Cirrhosis, which are connected to Natural history. The study incorporates disciplines such as NS5B, Odds ratio, National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey and Immunology in addition to Incidence. The concepts of her Transmission study are interwoven with issues in Hepatitis B, Men who have sex with men and Hepatitis B virus.
