Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

Rick L. Tarleton focuses on Trypanosoma cruzi, Immunology, Chagas disease, CD8 and Virology. The concepts of his Trypanosoma cruzi study are interwoven with issues in Genetics, Gene, Immune system, Epitope and Parasitemia. His research investigates the connection between Immunology and topics such as Disease that intersect with problems in Heart disease and Epidemiology.

He combines subjects such as Parasitic disease and Public health with his study of Chagas disease. His CD8 study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Cytotoxic T cell and T cell. His Virology research incorporates elements of CTL* and Parasite hosting.

His most cited work include:

  • The genome sequence of Trypanosoma cruzi, etiologic agent of Chagas disease (1143 citations)
  • Kinetoplastids: related protozoan pathogens, different diseases (397 citations)
  • The Trypanosoma cruzi proteome. (335 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Trypanosoma cruzi, Immunology, Chagas disease, Virology and Immune system. His Trypanosoma cruzi study incorporates themes from CD8, Antigen, Microbiology, Gene and Cytotoxic T cell. As part of one scientific family, Rick L. Tarleton deals mainly with the area of Immunology, narrowing it down to issues related to the Benznidazole, and often ELISPOT.

His research on Chagas disease also deals with topics like

  • Etiology most often made with reference to Disease,
  • Intensive care medicine which is related to area like Drug discovery. His work carried out in the field of Virology brings together such families of science as Immunodominance, Immunization, Parasite hosting, CTL* and Virulence. His Immune system research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Spleen, Cytokine and Vaccination.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Trypanosoma cruzi (67.96%)
  • Immunology (47.51%)
  • Chagas disease (32.60%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2021)?

  • Trypanosoma cruzi (67.96%)
  • Chagas disease (32.60%)
  • Immunology (47.51%)

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

Rick L. Tarleton spends much of his time researching Trypanosoma cruzi, Chagas disease, Immunology, Virology and Immune system. His studies deal with areas such as Cytotoxic T cell, Amastigote, Drug and Genetics as well as Trypanosoma cruzi. His study in Chagas disease is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Parasitic disease, Disease, Parasite hosting, Serology and Pharmacology.

His study in the field of T cell, Antibody and Immunity is also linked to topics like STAT4. His T cell study combines topics in areas such as Pharmacotherapy, Downregulation and upregulation and CD8. The Virology study combines topics in areas such as Ifn gamma, Enzyme linked immunospot assay, Immunodominance and Antigen.

Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • CRISPR-Cas9-Mediated Single-Gene and Gene Family Disruption in Trypanosoma cruzi (127 citations)
  • EuPaGDT: a web tool tailored to design CRISPR guide RNAs for eukaryotic pathogens (96 citations)
  • New, Combined, and Reduced Dosing Treatment Protocols Cure Trypanosoma cruzi Infection in Mice (91 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

Rick L. Tarleton mainly focuses on Trypanosoma cruzi, Chagas disease, Virology, CRISPR and Genome. The Trypanosoma cruzi study combines topics in areas such as Antimicrobial, Amastigote, CD8, Cytotoxic T cell and Drug resistance. The various areas that Rick L. Tarleton examines in his CD8 study include T cell, Immunodominance and Innate immune system.

His Chagas disease research entails a greater understanding of Immunology. His work carried out in the field of Virology brings together such families of science as Tropical disease, Drug, Enzyme linked immunospot assay and Ifn gamma. Rick L. Tarleton works mostly in the field of CRISPR, limiting it down to topics relating to Computational biology and, in certain cases, Trypanosoma brucei and Trypanosoma, as a part of the same area of interest.
