Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Bacteria

Robert I. Lehrer spends much of his time researching Microbiology, Antimicrobial peptides, Peptide, Biochemistry and Defensin. His Microbiology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Blood Bactericidal Activity, Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Robert I. Lehrer has researched Antimicrobial peptides in several fields, including Site of action, Innate immune system, Immunology and Plasma protein binding.

His research in Peptide intersects with topics in Neutrophile, Peptide sequence, Endogeny and Virology. His Defensin study incorporates themes from Amino acid, Virus, Herpes simplex virus and Glycoprotein. His Antimicrobial study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Antibiotics and Bacteria.

His most cited work include:

  • Defensins. Natural peptide antibiotics of human neutrophils. (1185 citations)
  • Cationic peptides: a new source of antibiotics (1156 citations)
  • Defensins: Antimicrobial and Cytotoxic Peptides of Mammalian Cells (875 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Microbiology, Biochemistry, Peptide, Antimicrobial peptides and Antimicrobial. His work deals with themes such as In vitro and Bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus, which intersect with Microbiology. His research on Biochemistry often connects related topics like Granulocyte.

Robert I. Lehrer interconnects Amino acid, Virology, Molecular biology, Peptide sequence and Stereochemistry in the investigation of issues within Peptide. His Antimicrobial peptides research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Innate immune system and Antibacterial agent. The study incorporates disciplines such as Antibiotics and Effector in addition to Antimicrobial.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Microbiology (38.83%)
  • Biochemistry (33.68%)
  • Peptide (32.30%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2008-2020)?

  • Biochemistry (33.68%)
  • Antimicrobial peptides (29.55%)
  • Peptide (32.30%)

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

Robert I. Lehrer mainly focuses on Biochemistry, Antimicrobial peptides, Peptide, Microbiology and Defensin. In general Biochemistry study, his work on In vitro, Glycoprotein, Carbohydrate and Glycosylation often relates to the realm of Surface plasmon resonance, thereby connecting several areas of interest. His Antimicrobial peptides study results in a more complete grasp of Antimicrobial.

His work deals with themes such as Valine, Cationic polymerization, Biophysics and Peptide sequence, which intersect with Peptide. His studies deal with areas such as Cytolysin, Cell culture, Macrophage and Virology as well as Microbiology. The various areas that Robert I. Lehrer examines in his Defensin study include Staphylococcus aureus, Bacteria, Wild type and Influenza A virus.

Between 2008 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Human α-Defensin 6 Promotes Mucosal Innate Immunity Through Self-Assembled Peptide Nanonets (245 citations)
  • α-Defensins in human innate immunity. (238 citations)
  • The Formulated Microbicide RC-101 Was Safe and Antivirally Active Following Intravaginal Application in Pigtailed Macaques (131 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Bacteria

His primary areas of investigation include Microbiology, Innate immune system, Antimicrobial peptides, Biochemistry and Virology. His Microbiology research incorporates themes from Cell culture, Lactobacillus, Cytolysin, Cholesterol-dependent cytolysin and Open reading frame. His study explores the link between Innate immune system and topics such as Pseudogene that cross with problems in Peptide sequence, Transfection and Beta defensin.

His research integrates issues of Plasma protein binding, Small intestine, Intestinal mucosa, Intracellular parasite and Macrophage in his study of Antimicrobial peptides. His study in Biochemistry concentrates on Defensin, Escherichia coli, Peptide, Carbohydrate and Glycosylation. Robert I. Lehrer has included themes like Antibacterial agent, Biophysics, Antimicrobial, Transmembrane protein and Effector in his Peptide study.
