Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Internal medicine

His primary areas of study are Trypanosoma cruzi, Immunology, Cardiomyopathy, Chagas disease and Virology. Murray Wittner combines subjects such as Flagellum and Cell biology with his study of Trypanosoma cruzi. The concepts of his Cardiomyopathy study are interwoven with issues in Myocarditis, Endothelin 1, Inflammation, Endothelin receptor and Endothelium.

His Myocarditis research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Endocrinology and Verapamil. His Chagas disease research incorporates elements of Microcirculation, Immune system and Pathogenesis. His Virology research includes themes of Antibody, Toxoplasma gondii, Diarrhea and Antigen.

His most cited work include:

  • The microsporidia and microsporidiosis (489 citations)
  • Trypanosoma cruzi: role of the immune response in the natural resistance of inbred strains of mice. (129 citations)
  • A Cell Culture System for Study of the Development of Toxoplasma gondii Bradyzoites (128 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Trypanosoma cruzi, Immunology, Chagas disease, Microbiology and Biochemistry. His work deals with themes such as Myocyte, Endocrinology, Virology, Immune system and Molecular biology, which intersect with Trypanosoma cruzi. His Virology research includes elements of Microsporidiosis, Protozoa and Antigen.

His Immunology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Cell culture and Disease. His Chagas disease research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Fibrosis, Internal medicine, Pathogenesis and Cardiomyopathy. As a member of one scientific family, Murray Wittner mostly works in the field of Microbiology, focusing on In vitro and, on occasion, Antibiotics, Cytoplasm and Toxoplasma gondii.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Trypanosoma cruzi (30.34%)
  • Immunology (19.66%)
  • Chagas disease (19.66%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2000-2020)?

  • Trypanosoma cruzi (30.34%)
  • Chagas disease (19.66%)
  • Pathology (12.92%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Trypanosoma cruzi, Chagas disease, Pathology, Cardiomyopathy and Immunology. Murray Wittner has researched Trypanosoma cruzi in several fields, including Nitric oxide synthase, Polyamine metabolism, Molecular biology, Stage specific and Cyclin. His studies deal with areas such as Fibrosis, Internal medicine, Myocarditis and Endocrinology as well as Chagas disease.

In his research, Protozoan infection, Urinary system and Urination is intimately related to Inflammation, which falls under the overarching field of Pathology. His studies in Cardiomyopathy integrate themes in fields like Verapamil, Heart disease and Pathogenesis. His work in the fields of Immune system, Microsporidiosis, Anncaliia algerae and Rheumatoid arthritis overlaps with other areas such as Network data.

Between 2000 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Initial characterization of CST1, a Toxoplasma gondii cyst wall glycoprotein. (102 citations)
  • Fatal Myositis Due to the Microsporidian Brachiola algerae, a Mosquito Pathogen (102 citations)
  • The role of endothelin in the pathogenesis of Chagas' disease. (89 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Internal medicine

His primary scientific interests are in Pathogenesis, Cardiomyopathy, Immunology, Pathology and Kinase. Many of his studies on Pathogenesis apply to Trypanosoma cruzi as well. His Trypanosoma cruzi research integrates issues from Innate immune system, Signal transduction, Chagas disease and Thromboxane A2.

His Cardiomyopathy study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Taenia solium, Toxoplasmosis, Virology and Myocarditis. The Immunology study combines topics in areas such as Encephalitozoon cuniculi and Microsporidium. His research on Pathology also deals with topics like

  • Endothelin 1 which intersects with area such as Proinflammatory cytokine, Inflammation, Myocyte, Heart disease and Phosphoramidon,
  • Endothelin receptor that connect with fields like Endothelium.
