Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome
  • Internal medicine
  • Virus

His primary areas of study are Immunology, Virology, Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, Antibody and Epitope. His studies link Gp41 with Virology. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Psychological intervention, Young adult, Internal medicine, Demography and Public health.

Salim S. Abdool Karim combines subjects such as Microbicides for sexually transmitted diseases, Rectal microbicide, Surgery and Pre-exposure prophylaxis with his study of Internal medicine. Salim S. Abdool Karim has included themes like Cross-sectional study, Condom and Incidence in his Demography study. The Public health study combines topics in areas such as Transmission, Health care and Developing country.

His most cited work include:

  • Effectiveness and Safety of Tenofovir Gel, an Antiretroviral Microbicide, for the Prevention of HIV Infection in Women (2103 citations)
  • Effectiveness of COL-1492, a nonoxynol-9 vaginal gel, on HIV-1 transmission in female sex workers: a randomised controlled trial (736 citations)
  • Timing of Initiation of Antiretroviral Drugs during Tuberculosis Therapy (537 citations)

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

Salim S. Abdool Karim mostly deals with Virology, Immunology, Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, Antibody and Viral load. The study incorporates disciplines such as Epitope, Microbicides for sexually transmitted diseases and Microbicide in addition to Virology. His Immunology research integrates issues from Bacterial vaginosis and Cohort.

His study in Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Incidence, Demography, Family medicine, Transmission and Public health. His work deals with themes such as Internal medicine and Viral replication, which intersect with Viral load. His research investigates the link between Internal medicine and topics such as Tuberculosis that cross with problems in Clinical trial.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Virology (43.67%)
  • Immunology (46.33%)
  • Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (32.83%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Virology (43.67%)
  • Viral load (23.17%)
  • Immunology (46.33%)

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

Salim S. Abdool Karim focuses on Virology, Viral load, Immunology, Antibody and Internal medicine. His studies in Virology integrate themes in fields like Epitope, HIV vaccine and Coronavirus disease 2019. His Viral load study incorporates themes from Lipopolysaccharide binding protein, Point-of-care testing, Task shifting and Tuberculosis.

His Immunology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Bacterial vaginosis and Reproductive health. His research investigates the connection with Antibody and areas like Trogocytosis which intersect with concerns in Antigenic variation. As a member of one scientific family, Salim S. Abdool Karim mostly works in the field of Pharmacokinetics, focusing on Phases of clinical research and, on occasion, Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Genital inflammation undermines the effectiveness of tenofovir gel in preventing HIV acquisition in women. (61 citations)
  • Genital inflammation undermines the effectiveness of tenofovir gel in preventing HIV acquisition in women. (61 citations)
  • SARS-CoV-2 variants and ending the COVID-19 pandemic. (57 citations)

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

  • Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome
  • Internal medicine
  • Virus

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Viral load, Virology, Internal medicine, Immunology and Tuberculosis. His Viral load research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Clinical trial, MEDLINE, Treatment outcome, Regimen and Intensive care medicine. His Regimen research includes elements of Demography, Sequence analysis, Drug resistance and Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.

The Virus research he does as part of his general Virology study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Limiting, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. His studies deal with areas such as Test, Point of care, Task shifting and Point-of-care testing as well as Internal medicine. Salim S. Abdool Karim has researched Tuberculosis in several fields, including HIV drug resistance, Tolerability, Cohort study and Dolutegravir.
