Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Virus
  • Internal medicine

Paul B. McCray mostly deals with Immunology, Lung, Microbiology, Virology and Cystic fibrosis. His study on Immunology is mostly dedicated to connecting different topics, such as Respiratory tract. His Lung research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Pathogenesis, Pathology, Inflammation, Cell biology and Airway.

The Microbiology study combines topics in areas such as Innate immune system and Bacteria. His Virology study incorporates themes from Insertional mutagenesis, Receptor, Respiratory epithelium and Coronavirus. In Cystic fibrosis, Paul B. McCray works on issues like Respiratory system, which are connected to Respiratory disease.

His most cited work include:

  • Human beta-defensin-1: an antimicrobial peptide of urogenital tissues. (653 citations)
  • Rapid "open-source" engineering of customized zinc-finger nucleases for highly efficient gene modification. (639 citations)
  • Disruption of the CFTR gene produces a model of cystic fibrosis in newborn pigs. (610 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Cystic fibrosis, Immunology, Virology, Lung and Molecular biology. His work focuses on many connections between Cystic fibrosis and other disciplines, such as Gene, that overlap with his field of interest in Computational biology and Antimicrobial peptides. His Immunology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Disease and In vivo.

His study looks at the relationship between Virology and topics such as Feline immunodeficiency virus, which overlap with Viral vector and Pseudotyping. His Lung research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Proinflammatory cytokine, Endocrinology and Respiratory system. His work deals with themes such as Luciferase, Defensin, Messenger RNA and Gene expression, which intersect with Molecular biology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Cystic fibrosis (27.81%)
  • Immunology (25.17%)
  • Virology (22.52%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Cystic fibrosis (27.81%)
  • Virology (22.52%)
  • Immunology (25.17%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Cystic fibrosis, Virology, Immunology, Lung and Genetic enhancement. His Cystic fibrosis research incorporates themes from Molecular biology, Computational biology, Gene and Small molecule. His Virology research includes themes of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus, Coronavirus, In vivo and Glycoprotein.

His research in Immunology intersects with topics in Receptor, Disease and Parenchyma. His Lung research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Immunohistochemistry, Epithelium, Pathogenesis, Pathology and Receptor expression. The various areas that Paul B. McCray examines in his Genetic enhancement study include Tropism and Viral vector.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • IFN-I response timing relative to virus replication determines MERS coronavirus infection outcomes (230 citations)
  • A SARS-CoV-2 Infection Model in Mice Demonstrates Protection by Neutralizing Antibodies. (227 citations)
  • Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus Causes Multiple Organ Damage and Lethal Disease in Mice Transgenic for Human Dipeptidyl Peptidase 4 (227 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Virus
  • Internal medicine

Immunology, Lung, Cystic fibrosis, Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator and Virology are his primary areas of study. His Immunology research incorporates themes from Respiratory tract and Disease. The study incorporates disciplines such as Receptor, Receptor expression and Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 in addition to Lung.

His studies in Cystic fibrosis integrate themes in fields like Inflammation, Neutrophil extracellular traps and Respiratory system. His research on Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator also deals with topics like

  • Viral vector, which have a strong connection to Genetic enhancement and Molecular biology,
  • Transgene which intersects with area such as Microbiology and Airway. Paul B. McCray combines subjects such as Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus and Endosome with his study of Virology.
