Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Gene
  • Enzyme

His scientific interests lie mostly in Immunology, Meningitis, Microbiology, Streptococcus pneumoniae and Cerebrospinal fluid. His study in Immunology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Receptor, Apoptosis and Pharmacology. His research integrates issues of Water maze, Central nervous system disease and Ceftriaxone in his study of Meningitis.

Roland Nau interconnects Disease, Pathogenesis and Lipoteichoic acid in the investigation of issues within Microbiology. His Streptococcus pneumoniae study combines topics in areas such as Virulence factor, Virulence, Virology, Spleen and Streptococcaceae. His Cerebrospinal fluid research includes elements of Pharmacokinetics and Blood–brain barrier.

His most cited work include:

  • Penetration of Drugs through the Blood-Cerebrospinal Fluid/Blood-Brain Barrier for Treatment of Central Nervous System Infections (473 citations)
  • The varicella zoster virus vasculopathies Clinical, CSF, imaging, and virologic features (329 citations)
  • Neuronal injury in bacterial meningitis: mechanisms and implications for therapy. (248 citations)

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

Roland Nau mainly investigates Immunology, Meningitis, Microbiology, Streptococcus pneumoniae and Cerebrospinal fluid. In his study, Neurogenesis is strongly linked to Hippocampal formation, which falls under the umbrella field of Immunology. As part of one scientific family, Roland Nau deals mainly with the area of Meningitis, narrowing it down to issues related to the Ceftriaxone, and often Antibacterial agent and Cephalosporin.

His research investigates the connection with Microbiology and areas like Lipoteichoic acid which intersect with concerns in Teichoic acid. His research in Streptococcus pneumoniae intersects with topics in Spleen and Streptococcaceae. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacology and Endocrinology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Immunology (33.70%)
  • Meningitis (29.35%)
  • Microbiology (26.81%)

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

  • Immunology (33.70%)
  • Microbiology (26.81%)
  • Microglia (11.23%)

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

Roland Nau mainly focuses on Immunology, Microbiology, Microglia, Internal medicine and Meningitis. His work carried out in the field of Immunology brings together such families of science as Central nervous system and Pathology. His work deals with themes such as Streptococcus suis, Extracellular, Pathogenesis and Escherichia coli, which intersect with Microbiology.

The various areas that he examines in his Microglia study include Chemokine, Innate immune system, Phagocytosis and Palmitoylethanolamide. His Internal medicine research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Lumbar and Endocrinology. His Meningitis study incorporates themes from Streptococcus pneumoniae, Dexamethasone, Cerebral edema, Endothelium and Brain damage.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Host-pathogen interactions in bacterial meningitis. (78 citations)
  • Septic encephalopathy and septic encephalitis (39 citations)
  • Intraperitoneal prophylaxis with CpG oligodeoxynucleotides protects neutropenic mice against intracerebral Escherichia coli K1 infection (29 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Gene
  • Enzyme

His scientific interests lie mostly in Immunology, Microglia, Phagocytosis, Internal medicine and Cerebrospinal fluid. His Immunology research incorporates themes from Meningitis, Neisseria meningitidis and Intensive care medicine. His studies deal with areas such as Chemokine, Immune system, Neuroprotection, Palmitoylethanolamide and Proinflammatory cytokine as well as Microglia.

His Phagocytosis study introduces a deeper knowledge of Microbiology. He has researched Internal medicine in several fields, including Psychotropic Agent, Endocrinology, Psychotropic drug and Geriatrics. His Cerebrospinal fluid research integrates issues from Antibiotics, Colistin, Vancomycin, Daptomycin and Pharmacology.
