Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Gene
  • Cancer

Her main research concerns Autoantibody, Immunology, Pathology, Neuromyelitis optica and Internal medicine. Her Autoantibody research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Myenteric plexus, Autoimmune disease, Dysautonomia and Autoimmunity. Her Immunology research includes elements of Central nervous system and Acetylcholine receptor.

Her work carried out in the field of Pathology brings together such families of science as Magnetic resonance imaging, Central nervous system disease, Myoclonus and Encephalopathy. Her work deals with themes such as Transverse myelitis, Aquaporin 4, Optic neuritis and Optic nerve, which intersect with Neuromyelitis optica. Vanda A. Lennon has included themes like Gastroenterology, Ataxia and Endocrinology in her Internal medicine study.

Her most cited work include:

  • Tumor-associated B7-H1 promotes T-cell apoptosis: a potential mechanism of immune evasion (3640 citations)
  • A serum autoantibody marker of neuromyelitis optica : distinction from multiple sclerosis (2326 citations)
  • Revised diagnostic criteria for neuromyelitis optica (2220 citations)

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

Vanda A. Lennon mainly focuses on Autoantibody, Immunology, Pathology, Internal medicine and Neuromyelitis optica. The concepts of her Autoantibody study are interwoven with issues in Cancer, Autoimmunity, Thymoma and Dysautonomia. Her Immunology study combines topics in areas such as Central nervous system and Acetylcholine receptor.

The Pathology study combines topics in areas such as Immunoglobulin G, Cerebellar ataxia and Purkinje cell. Her Internal medicine research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Gastroenterology, Endocrinology and Weakness. Her Neuromyelitis optica research includes themes of Aquaporin 4, Transverse myelitis, Optic neuritis and Optic nerve.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Autoantibody (39.81%)
  • Immunology (33.74%)
  • Pathology (31.80%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Autoantibody (39.81%)
  • Internal medicine (28.40%)
  • Pathology (31.80%)

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

Her primary scientific interests are in Autoantibody, Internal medicine, Pathology, Autoimmunity and Immunology. Her Autoantibody study results in a more complete grasp of Antibody. Vanda A. Lennon has researched Internal medicine in several fields, including Gastroenterology and Oncology.

Her Pathology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Ataxia, Cerebellar ataxia, Immunoglobulin G and Adenocarcinoma. Her Immunology research incorporates themes from Epidemiology, Incidence and Acetylcholine receptor. Vanda A. Lennon focuses mostly in the field of Neuromyelitis optica, narrowing it down to matters related to Optic neuritis and, in some cases, Optic nerve, Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis and Magnetic resonance imaging.

Between 2015 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Autoimmune encephalitis epidemiology and a comparison to infectious encephalitis. (209 citations)
  • Autoimmune glial fibrillary acidic protein astrocytopathy: A novel meningoencephalomyelitis (169 citations)
  • Glial fibrillary acidic protein immunoglobulin G as biomarker of autoimmune astrocytopathy: Analysis of 102 patients. (168 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Gene
  • Cancer

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Autoantibody, Immunology, Internal medicine, Pathology and Neuromyelitis optica. The subject of her Autoantibody research is within the realm of Antibody. She interconnects Epidemiology and Incidence in the investigation of issues within Immunology.

Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein, Optic neuropathy, Visual acuity, Optic neuritis and Depression is closely connected to Gastroenterology in her research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Internal medicine. Her research in Pathology intersects with topics in Immunoglobulin G and Ataxia, Cerebellar ataxia. Her Neuromyelitis optica study deals with Transverse myelitis intersecting with Channelopathy and Myelin.
