Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Virus
  • Immune system

Ramesh Akkina mainly focuses on Virology, Virus, Small interfering RNA, Immunology and RNA. His study in Virology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Humanized mouse, In vivo, T cell and Genetic enhancement. His Genetic enhancement study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Progenitor cell and Lentivirus.

The Small interfering RNA study combines topics in areas such as Molecular biology, Viral entry and RNA interference. The study incorporates disciplines such as Gene expression and Aptamer in addition to RNA. His work deals with themes such as Antibody and Stem cell, which intersect with Immune system.

His most cited work include:

  • High-efficiency gene transfer into CD34+ cells with a human immunodeficiency virus type 1-based retroviral vector pseudotyped with vesicular stomatitis virus envelope glycoprotein G. (291 citations)
  • Selection, characterization and application of new RNA HIV gp 120 aptamers for facile delivery of Dicer substrate siRNAs into HIV infected cells (228 citations)
  • An Aptamer-siRNA Chimera Suppresses HIV-1 Viral Loads and Protects from Helper CD4+ T Cell Decline in Humanized Mice (226 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Virology, Immunology, Virus, Genetic enhancement and Humanized mouse. His studies in Virology integrate themes in fields like Stem cell, Gene, In vivo and Small interfering RNA. His study in Immunology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Nod and Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.

His work on Influenza A virus and Orthomyxoviridae as part of general Virus study is frequently connected to Pestivirus and Bacterial virus, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them. Ramesh Akkina has included themes like Cell culture, Small hairpin RNA, Transduction, Gene silencing and Ribozyme in his Genetic enhancement study. His Humanized mouse study also includes fields such as

  • Pharmacology, which have a strong connection to Maraviroc,
  • Transmission which connect with Sexual transmission.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Virology (63.96%)
  • Immunology (27.93%)
  • Virus (27.03%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2020)?

  • Virology (63.96%)
  • Humanized mouse (21.62%)
  • Virus (27.03%)

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

His primary areas of study are Virology, Humanized mouse, Virus, Immunology and Viral load. His Virology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of In vivo, Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, Immune system, Adaptation and Drug. His In vivo research is multidisciplinary, relying on both T cell and In vitro.

His studies deal with areas such as Pharmacology and Virulence as well as Humanized mouse. Within one scientific family, Ramesh Akkina focuses on topics pertaining to Gene under Virus, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Vesicular stomatitis virus. His work on Malaria as part of general Immunology study is frequently linked to Integrase inhibitor, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science.

Between 2015 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Improvements and Limitations of Humanized Mouse Models for HIV Research: NIH/NIAID “Meet the Experts” 2015 Workshop Summary (38 citations)
  • A humanized mouse-based HIV-1 viral outgrowth assay with higher sensitivity than in vitro qVOA in detecting latently infected cells from individuals on ART with undetectable viral loads (30 citations)
  • Receptor-targeted aptamer-siRNA conjugate-directed transcriptional regulation of HIV-1. (25 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Virus
  • Immune system

Ramesh Akkina mainly investigates Virology, Humanized mouse, Virus, T cell and Viral envelope. His work deals with themes such as Immunohistochemistry, In situ hybridization, RNA, Immunofluorescence and Regulation of gene expression, which intersect with Virology. Ramesh Akkina is doing genetic studies as part of his Immune system and Immunology and Humanized mouse investigations.

His Immunology research includes themes of Nod and Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. The various areas that he examines in his T cell study include RNA interference, Transcriptional regulation and Gene silencing. His Viral envelope research includes elements of Vesicular stomatitis virus, Pseudotyping and Transduction.
