Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome

Robert W. Shafer mostly deals with Virology, Drug resistance, Reverse transcriptase, Genetics and Immunology. His study in Virus, Zidovudine, Reverse-transcriptase inhibitor, Didanosine and Lamivudine falls within the category of Virology. His study in Drug resistance is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Mutation, Viral disease, Protease, HIV drug resistance and Genotype.

His work in Reverse transcriptase addresses issues such as Multiple drug resistance, which are connected to fields such as Mutagenesis. His work deals with themes such as Computational biology and Genetic diversity, which intersect with Genetics. The concepts of his Immunology study are interwoven with issues in Randomized controlled trial and Genome-wide association study.

His most cited work include:

  • The major genetic determinants of HIV-1 control affect HLA class I peptide presentation (910 citations)
  • Human immunodeficiency virus reverse transcriptase and protease sequence database (728 citations)
  • Drug Resistance Mutations for Surveillance of Transmitted HIV-1 Drug-Resistance: 2009 Update (707 citations)

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

Virology, Drug resistance, Genetics, Reverse transcriptase and Virus are his primary areas of study. His Virology study combines topics in areas such as Mutation, Protease and Genotype. His Drug resistance study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Regimen, Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, Immunology, HIV drug resistance and Resistance mutation.

His Immunology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Internal medicine and Drug. Robert W. Shafer combines subjects such as Molecular biology, Nucleic acid sequence and Zidovudine with his study of Reverse transcriptase. The study incorporates disciplines such as RNA, Nucleotidyltransferase and Polymerase chain reaction in addition to Virus.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Virology (50.34%)
  • Drug resistance (40.34%)
  • Genetics (25.86%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Drug resistance (40.34%)
  • Virology (50.34%)
  • Mutation (15.86%)

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

His main research concerns Drug resistance, Virology, Mutation, HIV drug resistance and Antiretroviral therapy. The Drug resistance study combines topics in areas such as Integrase, Regimen, Reverse transcriptase and Intensive care medicine. His Virology study incorporates themes from Polymerase, Clinical trial, Integrase inhibitor, Genotype and Monoclonal antibody.

To a larger extent, he studies Genetics with the aim of understanding Mutation. His Genetics study often links to related topics such as Protease. As a part of the same scientific family, he mostly works in the field of HIV drug resistance, focusing on Epidemiology and, on occasion, Incidence.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Global epidemiology of drug resistance after failure of WHO recommended first-line regimens for adult HIV-1 infection: a multicentre retrospective cohort study (153 citations)
  • HIV-1 drug resistance and resistance testing (117 citations)
  • 2017 Update of the Drug Resistance Mutations in HIV-1. (116 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome

Robert W. Shafer mainly focuses on Drug resistance, Virology, Reverse transcriptase, Regimen and Intensive care medicine. The various areas that Robert W. Shafer examines in his Drug resistance study include Mutation, Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, Reverse-transcriptase inhibitor, Transmission and HIV drug resistance. His Mutation study is related to the wider topic of Genetics.

His Virology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Genotypic resistance and Genotype. He interconnects Sanger sequencing, Molecular epidemiology, Integrase and Odds ratio in the investigation of issues within Reverse transcriptase. His Internal medicine research incorporates elements of Treatment as prevention and Immunology.
