Overview

Stephen K. Anderson is affiliated with the National Institutes of Health in the United States. Their research spans several interconnected domains within biomedical science, focusing significantly on immunology, microbiology, medicine, and molecular biology. The work encompasses 33 publications across these main fields.

Their primary subfields of study include immunology, molecular biology, oncology, infectious diseases, and genetics. The main topics addressed in their research cover immune cell function and interaction, SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 research, inflammatory mediators and NSAID effects, T-cell and B-cell immunology, immunotherapy and immune responses, epigenetics and DNA methylation, and IL-33, ST2, and ILC pathways.

Stephen K. Anderson has published extensively in various scientific journals. Frequent publication venues include bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory) with six publications, The Journal of Immunology with five, and Frontiers in Immunology, Immunogenetics, and Cancers, each with two publications.

Notable recent papers include:

  • Minimal PD-1 expression in mouse and human NK cells under diverse conditions (2020, Journal of Clinical Investigation)
  • Rorγt-positive dendritic cells are required for the induction of peripheral regulatory T cells in response to oral antigens (2025, Cell)
  • Nitric Oxide Modulates Metabolic Processes in the Tumor Immune Microenvironment (2021, International Journal of Molecular Sciences)
  • Prospective Assessment of SARS-CoV-2 Seroconversion (PASS) study: an observational cohort study of SARS-CoV-2 infection and vaccination in healthcare workers (2021, BMC Infectious Diseases)
  • Tuning of human NK cells by endogenous HLA-C expression (2020, Immunogenetics)

Research collaboration is also a key aspect of Anderson's scientific activity. Frequent co-authors include Lisa A. Ridnour, Stephen Lockett, David A. Wink, Hongchuan Li, and Robert Y.S. Cheng, each with contributions to multiple publications.
