Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Virus

His scientific interests lie mostly in Virology, Virus, Gene, Molecular biology and Lytic cycle. Ren Sun specializes in Virology, namely Viral replication. His Virus research incorporates elements of Immunofluorescence, Serology and Antigen.

In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Gene, Viral tegument, Glycoprotein, Peptide sequence and Virion assembly is strongly linked to Gammaherpesvirinae. His Molecular biology study also includes

  • BZLF1 and Primary effusion lymphoma most often made with reference to Gene expression,
  • RNA together with DNA. Ren Sun has included themes like Virus latency, Plasmid and Virus Activation in his Lytic cycle study.

His most cited work include:

  • IRF3 mediates a TLR3/TLR4-specific antiviral gene program (743 citations)
  • A viral gene that activates lytic cycle expression of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus. (534 citations)
  • Kinetics of Kaposi’s Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus Gene Expression (362 citations)

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

Ren Sun mostly deals with Virology, Virus, Lytic cycle, Viral replication and Genetics. His study in Virology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Molecular biology, Gene and Immune system. He interconnects RNA and Genome in the investigation of issues within Virus.

His Lytic cycle research focuses on Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus and how it connects with Primary effusion lymphoma, Transactivation and Cancer research. His research integrates issues of Mutagenesis, Interferon and Rhadinovirus in his study of Viral replication. The concepts of his Genetics study are interwoven with issues in Fitness landscape and Computational biology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Virology (45.98%)
  • Virus (32.57%)
  • Lytic cycle (24.52%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Virology (45.98%)
  • Genetics (22.99%)
  • Virus (32.57%)

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

His primary areas of study are Virology, Genetics, Virus, Viral replication and Mutant. His Virology study combines topics in areas such as Immune system and Genotype. His work in Genetics tackles topics such as Fitness landscape which are related to areas like Mutation rate, Adaptation and Mutation.

His Virus research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in RNA, Genome, Gene and Interferon. His study in Gene is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Hepatitis C virus and Effector. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Gene expression, PIKFYVE, Mutation, Drug repositioning and Transcription.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Discovery of SARS-CoV-2 antiviral drugs through large-scale compound repurposing. (215 citations)
  • 25-Hydroxycholesterol Protects Host against Zika Virus Infection and Its Associated Microcephaly in a Mouse Model (155 citations)
  • Self-Organized Cerebral Organoids with Human-Specific Features Predict Effective Drugs to Combat Zika Virus Infection (147 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Virus

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Virus, Virology, Genetics, Viral replication and Interferon. He combines subjects such as RNA, Gene, DNA and Protein biosynthesis with his study of Virus. His Gene research incorporates elements of Effector and Hepatitis C virus.

His work on Zika virus as part of general Virology research is frequently linked to VIROLOGIC FAILURE, bridging the gap between disciplines. His work carried out in the field of Viral replication brings together such families of science as PIKFYVE, Mutation, Drug, Drug repositioning and Disease. His research in Capsid intersects with topics in Plasma protein binding, Cell biology, Protein domain, Turn and Lytic cycle.
