Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Virus
  • Enzyme

Virology, Virus, Hepatitis C virus, Viral replication and NS2-3 protease are his primary areas of study. The various areas that Thomas Pietschmann examines in his Virology study include Epitope, Cell culture and Replicon. His Virus study necessitates a more in-depth grasp of Genetics.

His biological study focuses on Hepacivirus. Thomas Pietschmann works mostly in the field of Viral entry, limiting it down to concerns involving Viral life cycle and, occasionally, Luciferase, Viral disease, Viral load and Viral culture. The concepts of his Infectivity study are interwoven with issues in Viral envelope and Hypervariable region.

His most cited work include:

  • Production of infectious hepatitis C virus in tissue culture from a cloned viral genome (2514 citations)
  • Construction and characterization of infectious intragenotypic and intergenotypic hepatitis C virus chimeras. (681 citations)
  • EGFR and EphA2 are host factors for hepatitis C virus entry and possible targets for antiviral therapy (535 citations)

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

Thomas Pietschmann mainly investigates Virology, Hepatitis C virus, Virus, Viral replication and Viral entry. His Virology research includes themes of Cell culture and Antibody. His Hepatitis C virus study which covers Hepatitis C that intersects with Ribavirin.

His studies deal with areas such as Liver disease, Immune system and Microbiology as well as Virus. His study looks at the relationship between Viral replication and fields such as Replicon, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. Thomas Pietschmann combines topics linked to Viral life cycle with his work on Viral entry.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Virology (76.19%)
  • Hepatitis C virus (59.31%)
  • Virus (39.83%)

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

  • Virology (76.19%)
  • Virus (39.83%)
  • Hepatitis C virus (59.31%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Virology, Virus, Hepatitis C virus, Cell biology and Interferon. Thomas Pietschmann studies Viral membrane, a branch of Virology. Particularly relevant to Viral entry is his body of work in Virus.

He is studying CD81, which is a component of Hepatitis C virus. His work on Lipid droplet as part of general Cell biology research is frequently linked to Autophagy, bridging the gap between disciplines. His work investigates the relationship between Interferon and topics such as Gene that intersect with problems in Permissiveness and Hepatocyte.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Critical challenges and emerging opportunities in hepatitis C virus research in an era of potent antiviral therapy: Considerations for scientists and funding agencies (77 citations)
  • Hepatitis C virus enters liver cells using the CD81 receptor complex proteins calpain-5 and CBLB. (24 citations)
  • Hepatitis E virus replication and interferon responses in human placental cells. (24 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Virus
  • Enzyme

Thomas Pietschmann mostly deals with Virology, Virus, Hepatitis C virus, Viral entry and Cell biology. His Virology study often links to related topics such as Glycosylation. His Virus study frequently draws connections between adjacent fields such as RNA.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Liver disease, Lipid bilayer fusion and Hepatocellular carcinoma in addition to Hepatitis C virus. His Viral entry research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Cell, Respiratory tract infections, Hepatitis E, Therapeutic index and Interferon. He interconnects Virion assembly, Viral replication and Tetraspanin in the investigation of issues within Cell biology.
