Overview

Thomas H. MacRae was affiliated with Dalhousie University in Canada. Their research primarily focused on biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology, complemented by significant contributions to environmental science. Their work frequently intersected several subfields, including molecular biology, ecology, aging, insect science, and immunology.

The scientist's publications revolved around several main topics. These included heat shock proteins research, physiological and biochemical adaptations, genetics, aging, and longevity in model organisms, insect and pesticide research, and invertebrate immune response mechanisms.

Thomas H. MacRae published several papers, notably:

  • Short-term cold stress and heat shock proteins in the crustacean Artemia franciscana, 2020, in Cell Stress and Chaperones
  • RNA interference of Hsp70 in Artemia franciscana nauplii and its effect on morphology, growth, survival and immune response, 2020, in Aquaculture
  • ArHsp90 is important in stress tolerance and embryo development of the brine shrimp, Artemia franciscana, 2024, in Cell Stress and Chaperones

Their collaboration network included frequent co-authors such as Yayra A. Gbotsyo, Nathan M. Rowarth, Laura K. Weir, Mat Taib Mimi Iryani, and Patrick Sorgeloos. The venues where Thomas H. MacRae commonly published were primarily Cell Stress and Chaperones and Aquaculture.
