Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Immune system
  • Virus
  • Antibody

Rama Rao Amara spends much of his time researching Virology, Immunology, Virus, Immune system and Simian immunodeficiency virus. His Virology research incorporates themes from Cellular immunity, Cytokine and Modified vaccinia Ankara. His Modified vaccinia Ankara research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Orthopoxvirus and Avidity.

His research links Cytotoxic T cell with Immunology. His Virus study combines topics in areas such as T lymphocyte, Vaccinia, Poxviridae, Recombinant DNA and Epitope. Rama Rao Amara interconnects Apoptosis, Blockade, AIDS Vaccines, Mucous membrane and Antibody in the investigation of issues within Immune system.

His most cited work include:

  • Control of a mucosal challenge and prevention of AIDS by a multiprotein DNA/MVA vaccine. (1081 citations)
  • Broadly cross-reactive antibodies dominate the human B cell response against 2009 pandemic H1N1 influenza virus infection (668 citations)
  • Enhancing SIV-specific immunity in vivo by PD-1 blockade (611 citations)

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

Rama Rao Amara focuses on Virology, Immunology, Immune system, Virus and Simian immunodeficiency virus. His study in Virology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Vaccinia, Modified vaccinia Ankara, Cytotoxic T cell and Antibody. In his research, Antibody titer is intimately related to T cell, which falls under the overarching field of Cytotoxic T cell.

In the field of Immune system, his study on Acquired immune system overlaps with subjects such as Pilus. His Virus research includes elements of DNA, Recombinant virus, Recombinant DNA and Orthopoxvirus. His work on SAIDS Vaccines as part of general Simian immunodeficiency virus study is frequently linked to Macaque, bridging the gap between disciplines.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Virology (97.25%)
  • Immunology (84.62%)
  • Immune system (46.15%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Virology (97.25%)
  • Antibody (41.21%)
  • Vaccination (30.77%)

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

Rama Rao Amara mainly investigates Virology, Antibody, Vaccination, Immunology and Modified vaccinia Ankara. His Virology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Cytotoxic T cell, HIV vaccine and Gp41. In his research on the topic of Antibody, Antibody titer, Cellular immunity and Viral vector is strongly related with T cell.

The various areas that Rama Rao Amara examines in his Vaccination study include Adjuvant, B cell and Immunity. As part of his studies on Modified vaccinia Ankara, Rama Rao Amara often connects relevant subjects like Simian immunodeficiency virus. The Simian immunodeficiency virus study combines topics in areas such as Breastfeeding, Priming and DNA.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • T cell-inducing vaccine durably prevents mucosal SHIV infection even with lower neutralizing antibody titers. (34 citations)
  • HIV-1 vaccination by needle-free oral injection induces strong mucosal immunity and protects against SHIV challenge (25 citations)
  • HIV-1 vaccination by needle-free oral injection induces strong mucosal immunity and protects against SHIV challenge (25 citations)

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

  • Immune system
  • Antibody
  • Virus

His scientific interests lie mostly in Antibody, Vaccination, Immunity, Virology and Modified vaccinia Ankara. His Antibody study is associated with Immunology. His research on Virology often connects related topics like Cytotoxic T cell.

His Cytotoxic T cell study incorporates themes from Acquired immune system, Priming and Simian immunodeficiency virus. His Modified vaccinia Ankara research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Oral mucosa and Buccal administration. His HIV vaccine study which covers Neutralizing antibody that intersects with Vaccinia, Neutralization, Cellular immunity and Viral vector.
