Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

His main research concerns RNase P, Interferon, Molecular biology, Virology and RNA. His biological study deals with issues like LNCaP, which deal with fields such as Retrovirus. His Interferon research integrates issues from Microarray analysis techniques, Protein kinase R, Kinase and Viral transformation.

His research integrates issues of Cell culture, Ribonuclease, Messenger RNA, Alpha interferon and Cell biology in his study of Molecular biology. Robert H. Silverman has researched Cell biology in several fields, including Transcription factor and Small interfering RNA. Robert H. Silverman works on RNA which deals in particular with RNA silencing.

His most cited work include:

  • How cells respond to interferons (3580 citations)
  • Identification of genes differentially regulated by interferon α, β, or γ using oligonucleotide arrays (1596 citations)
  • Activation of the interferon system by short-interfering RNAs (1317 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in RNase P, Molecular biology, Virology, Interferon and RNA. RNase P is a primary field of his research addressed under Biochemistry. His Molecular biology study combines topics in areas such as Cell culture, Transfection, Messenger RNA, 2'-5'-Oligoadenylate and Oligonucleotide.

EIF-2 kinase and Herpes simplex virus is closely connected to Protein kinase R in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Virology. His Interferon research is multidisciplinary, relying on both In vivo, Innate immune system, Protein kinase A and Cell biology. His RNA study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Nucleic acid and Telomerase.

He most often published in these fields:

  • RNase P (54.75%)
  • Molecular biology (42.30%)
  • Virology (39.67%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2021)?

  • RNase P (54.75%)
  • Virology (39.67%)
  • Interferon (30.82%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in RNase P, Virology, Interferon, RNA and Virus. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Molecular biology, Innate immune system, RNA silencing and Viral replication. His Virology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Sindbis virus and Endoribonuclease.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Receptor and In vivo in addition to Interferon. RNA is the subject of his research, which falls under Gene. His work deals with themes such as RNA extraction, Sunitinib, Ribonuclease L and Prostate cancer, which intersect with Virus.

Between 2011 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Antagonism of the interferon-induced OAS-RNase L pathway by murine coronavirus ns2 protein is required for virus replication and liver pathology (182 citations)
  • West Nile Virus Noncoding Subgenomic RNA Contributes to Viral Evasion of the Type I Interferon-Mediated Antiviral Response (137 citations)
  • Activation of RNase L is dependent on OAS3 expression during infection with diverse human viruses (118 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

His main research concerns RNase P, Virology, Viral replication, RNA and Interferon. His RNase P study incorporates themes from Molecular biology and MDA5. His research investigates the connection between Molecular biology and topics such as Cell that intersect with problems in Microglia and Messenger RNA.

Virus is the focus of his Virology research. He combines subjects such as Inflammasome, Mutant and Signal transducing adaptor protein with his study of RNA. His study looks at the intersection of Interferon and topics like Receptor with Gene knockout and Apoptosis.
