Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Antibody

Thor G. Theander mainly focuses on Plasmodium falciparum, Malaria, Virology, Antigen and Immunology. His studies deal with areas such as Antibody, Gene, Recombinant DNA and Group A as well as Plasmodium falciparum. His specific area of interest is Malaria, where he studies Malaria vaccine.

His work carried out in the field of Malaria vaccine brings together such families of science as Vaccine efficacy and Vaccination. His research in Virology focuses on subjects like Genotype, which are connected to Circumsporozoite protein. His Immunology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Subclinical infection and Leishmania.

His most cited work include:

  • First results of phase 3 trial of RTS,S/AS01 malaria vaccine in African children. (684 citations)
  • Selective upregulation of a single distinctly structured var gene in chondroitin sulphate A-adhering Plasmodium falciparum involved in pregnancy-associated malaria (577 citations)
  • A phase 3 trial of RTS,S/AS01 malaria vaccine in African infants. (550 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Plasmodium falciparum, Malaria, Antigen, Immunology and Virology. The study incorporates disciplines such as Gene, Recombinant DNA, Immunoglobulin G, Antibody and Placenta in addition to Plasmodium falciparum. His work on Malaria vaccine as part of general Malaria research is frequently linked to Tanzania, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science.

His Antigen research includes themes of T cell, Immune system, Microbiology, Plasmodium and Cytotoxic T cell. His work deals with themes such as Peripheral blood mononuclear cell and Leishmania, which intersect with Immunology. Thor G. Theander combines subjects such as Acquired immune system, Apicomplexa, Immunity and Immunogenicity with his study of Virology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Plasmodium falciparum (70.45%)
  • Malaria (48.86%)
  • Antigen (45.74%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Plasmodium falciparum (70.45%)
  • Malaria (48.86%)
  • Virology (41.76%)

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

Thor G. Theander spends much of his time researching Plasmodium falciparum, Malaria, Virology, Antibody and Antigen. His study with Plasmodium falciparum involves better knowledge in Immunology. His work carried out in the field of Malaria brings together such families of science as Pregnancy, Pathogenesis and Obstetrics.

Specifically, his work in Virology is concerned with the study of Vaccination. He has researched Antibody in several fields, including Acquired immune system, Recombinant DNA and Immunity. His Antigen research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Virus, Capsid and Virus-like particle.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Genetic Diversity and Protective Efficacy of the RTS,S/AS01 Malaria Vaccine (207 citations)
  • Structural Conservation Despite Huge Sequence Diversity Allows EPCR Binding by the PfEMP1 Family Implicated in Severe Childhood Malaria (108 citations)
  • Targeting Human Cancer by a Glycosaminoglycan Binding Malaria Protein (97 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Immune system

Thor G. Theander mostly deals with Plasmodium falciparum, Virology, Immunology, Antigen and Malaria. Thor G. Theander has included themes like Receptor, Plasma protein binding, Cell biology and Antibody in his Plasmodium falciparum study. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Chondroitin sulfate and Placental Extracts.

His Immunology study is mostly concerned with Malaria vaccine and Vaccination. He focuses mostly in the field of Antigen, narrowing it down to topics relating to Virus-like particle and, in certain cases, Nanotechnology, Protein subunit, Subunit vaccines, Computational biology and Vaccine antigen. He interconnects Adjuvant and Immunogenicity in the investigation of issues within Malaria.
