Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Virus

Rino Rappuoli spends much of his time researching Microbiology, Virology, Immunology, Antigen and Vaccination. His studies in Microbiology integrate themes in fields like Helicobacter pylori, Enterotoxin and Pilus, Virulence. His work deals with themes such as Regulation of gene expression and Escherichia coli, which intersect with Virulence.

His Virology research includes themes of Neisseria meningitidis, Meningococcal vaccine and Reverse vaccinology. He has included themes like Amino acid, Bacterial adhesin and Cytotoxic T cell, Antigen presentation in his Antigen study. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Cost–benefit analysis, Clinical trial, Immunization and Immunity.

His most cited work include:

  • cag, a pathogenicity island of Helicobacter pylori, encodes type I-specific and disease-associated virulence factors. (1726 citations)
  • Genome analysis of multiple pathogenic isolates of Streptococcus agalactiae: Implications for the microbial “pan-genome” (1521 citations)
  • Identification of vaccine candidates against serogroup B meningococcus by whole-genome sequencing. (1154 citations)

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

Rino Rappuoli mainly investigates Microbiology, Virology, Immunology, Antigen and Vaccination. His study in Microbiology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Neisseria meningitidis, Helicobacter pylori, Immunogenicity and Virulence. His Virology study which covers Reverse vaccinology that intersects with Computational biology.

His Immunology research focuses on Immune system, Immunization, Adjuvant, Immunity and MF59. Antigen is closely attributed to Amino acid in his study. Genetics covers Rino Rappuoli research in Genome.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Microbiology (33.00%)
  • Virology (32.21%)
  • Immunology (18.92%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Virology (32.21%)
  • Vaccination (15.09%)
  • Antigen (18.69%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Virology, Vaccination, Antigen, Immunology and Antibody. His studies deal with areas such as Meningococcal vaccine, Immunity and Reverse vaccinology as well as Virology. Rino Rappuoli studied Reverse vaccinology and Computational biology that intersect with Genome.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Emerging technologies, Immunization, Systems biology, Intensive care medicine and Disease in addition to Vaccination. The Antigen study combines topics in areas such as Neisseria meningitidis, Glycoconjugate, Immune system and Microbiology. His Microbiology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Staphylococcal infections and Staphylococcus aureus.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Recombinant BCG Expressing LTAK63 Adjuvant induces Superior Protection against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. (251 citations)
  • Correlates of adjuvanticity: A review on adjuvants in licensed vaccines. (187 citations)
  • Vaccines for the 21st century. (174 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Virus

His primary areas of study are Antigen, Virology, Immunology, Vaccination and Immune system. His study connects Microbiology and Antigen. His Virology research integrates issues from Pandemrix, Antibody, Meningococcal vaccine and Bacterial meningitis.

As a member of one scientific family, Rino Rappuoli mostly works in the field of Immunology, focusing on Clinical trial and, on occasion, Intensive care medicine and Pandemic. His Vaccination research focuses on Immunogenicity and how it relates to Bacterial polysaccharide, Streptococcus pneumoniae and Carriage. His study looks at the relationship between Immune system and topics such as Adjuvant, which overlap with Antibody titer.
