Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Virus
  • DNA

Stephan Becker mostly deals with Virology, Ebola virus, Virus, VP40 and Viral matrix protein. His work on Ebolavirus and Marburgvirus as part of general Virology research is frequently linked to Filoviridae, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including RNA, Viral envelope, Transcription and Viral replication.

The RNA study which covers Nucleoprotein that intersects with Virus Release. The study incorporates disciplines such as Molecular biology, Vaccinia, Pandemic and Microbiology in addition to Virus. His research investigates the link between Viral matrix protein and topics such as Cell biology that cross with problems in Immunogold labelling, Cell membrane, Membrane and Cellular compartment.

His most cited work include:

  • GP mRNA of Ebola virus is edited by the Ebola virus polymerase and by T7 and vaccinia virus polymerases. (311 citations)
  • Three of the Four Nucleocapsid Proteins of Marburg Virus, NP, VP35, and L, Are Sufficient To Mediate Replication and Transcription of Marburg Virus-Specific Monocistronic Minigenomes (188 citations)
  • Synthetic Generation of Influenza Vaccine Viruses for Rapid Response to Pandemics (152 citations)

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

Stephan Becker focuses on Virology, Ebola virus, Virus, VP40 and Cell biology. His Marburg virus, Ebolavirus and Marburgvirus study, which is part of a larger body of work in Virology, is frequently linked to Filoviridae, bridging the gap between disciplines. His research in Marburg virus tackles topics such as Glycoprotein which are related to areas like Intracellular.

The Ebola virus study combines topics in areas such as RNA, Viral entry, Nucleoprotein and Transcription. His work on Viral replication as part of general Virus research is often related to Mononegavirales, thus linking different fields of science. His VP40 study is related to the wider topic of Viral matrix protein.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Virology (69.41%)
  • Ebola virus (44.29%)
  • Virus (33.33%)

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

  • Virology (69.41%)
  • Ebola virus (44.29%)
  • Cell biology (26.03%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Virology, Ebola virus, Cell biology, Vaccination and Virus. His Virology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Epitope, Antigen and Coronavirus disease 2019. His work deals with themes such as Viral envelope, Sphingosine, Sphingolipid, Viral entry and Activator, which intersect with Ebola virus.

His Cell biology study incorporates themes from Transcription, Messenger RNA, Gene and Viral matrix protein. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Virus, Antiserum is strongly linked to Vaccinia. His Marburg virus research integrates issues from Acute kidney injury, Crystallography and VP40.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Safety and immunogenicity of a candidate Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus viral-vectored vaccine: a dose-escalation, open-label, non-randomised, uncontrolled, phase 1 trial. (76 citations)
  • Safety and immunogenicity of a modified vaccinia virus Ankara vector vaccine candidate for Middle East respiratory syndrome: an open-label, phase 1 trial. (46 citations)
  • TMPRSS2 and furin are both essential for proteolytic activation and spread of SARS-CoV-2 in human airway epithelial cells and provide promising drug targets (43 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Virus
  • DNA

Stephan Becker mainly focuses on Ebola virus, Virology, Vaccination, Antibody and Internal medicine. His studies in Ebola virus integrate themes in fields like Viral envelope, Interferon, Vesicular stomatitis virus, Cell biology and Viral nucleocapsid. His research integrates issues of VP40, Viral matrix protein, Fusion protein and Glycoprotein in his study of Cell biology.

His Virology study frequently draws connections between related disciplines such as Lineage. His Vaccination study combines topics in areas such as Immune system, Immunogenicity and Epitope, Epitope mapping, Monoclonal antibody. His Antibody research includes elements of Cell, Isolation, Germline, Immunity and Coronavirus disease 2019.
