Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Virus
  • DNA

Robert A. Lamb focuses on Virus, Virology, Molecular biology, Influenza A virus and Cell biology. His study explores the link between Virus and topics such as Budding that cross with problems in Virus Release and ESCRT. In general Virology study, his work on Neuraminidase, Hemagglutinin and Lipid bilayer fusion often relates to the realm of H5N1 genetic structure, thereby connecting several areas of interest.

Robert A. Lamb has researched Molecular biology in several fields, including Complementary DNA, Messenger RNA, Gene and RNA. His Influenza A virus study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Integral membrane protein and Cell culture. He combines subjects such as Amantadine, Xenopus, Transmembrane domain and Rimantadine with his study of M2 proton channel.

His most cited work include:

  • Orthomyxoviridae: The Viruses and Their Replication. (2585 citations)
  • Influenza virus M2 protein has ion channel activity. (983 citations)
  • Influenza virus M2 protein has ion channel activity. (983 citations)

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

Robert A. Lamb spends much of his time researching Virus, Molecular biology, Virology, Biochemistry and Influenza A virus. While the research belongs to areas of Virus, Robert A. Lamb spends his time largely on the problem of Cell biology, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Viral envelope. His Molecular biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of RNA, Messenger RNA, Gene and Fusion protein.

His work on Neuraminidase, VP40 and Antigenic drift as part of general Virology study is frequently connected to H5N1 genetic structure, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them. His work focuses on many connections between Biochemistry and other disciplines, such as Biophysics, that overlap with his field of interest in Ion channel, Lipid bilayer and Plasma protein binding. Robert A. Lamb has researched Influenza A virus in several fields, including Integral membrane protein and Amantadine.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Virus (54.72%)
  • Molecular biology (47.70%)
  • Virology (42.37%)

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

  • Virology (42.37%)
  • Cell biology (21.55%)
  • Virus (54.72%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Virology, Cell biology, Virus, Biophysics and Influenza A virus. His Virology research incorporates themes from Taxonomy and Phylogenetics. His studies deal with areas such as RNA, Glycoprotein, Viral membrane, Fusion protein and Host cell plasma membrane as well as Cell biology.

In most of his Virus studies, his work intersects topics such as Metapneumovirus. His Biophysics study incorporates themes from Hemagglutinin and Biochemistry. His Influenza A virus research includes elements of Mutant and Ion channel.

Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Textbook of Influenza (649 citations)
  • Taxonomy of the order Mononegavirales: update 2016 (307 citations)
  • The Innate Immune Sensor LGP2 Activates Antiviral Signaling by Regulating MDA5-RNA Interaction and Filament Assembly (146 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Virus

Robert A. Lamb mainly focuses on Virology, Virus, Cell biology, Taxonomy and Viral entry. His Virology research focuses on Influenza A virus and Influenza A virus subtype H5N1. He has included themes like Vaccination and Actin in his Virus study.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Innate immune system and Pattern recognition receptor. His Viral entry research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Antibody-dependent enhancement, VP40, Lipid bilayer fusion, Membrane glycoproteins and Viral nucleocapsid. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Lipid bilayer fusion, Biophysics and Viral protein is strongly linked to Ectodomain.
