Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Bacteria
  • DNA

His scientific interests lie mostly in Microbiology, Lactococcus lactis, Genetics, Gene and Virulence. His Microbiology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Mutant and Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis, Bacteria. His Genome, Pathogenicity island, Horizontal gene transfer, Comparative genomics and Bacillus subtilis study are his primary interests in Genetics.

Many of his research projects under Genome are closely connected to Prophage with Prophage, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. His Horizontal gene transfer research incorporates elements of Bacterial genome size and Gene family. In the field of Gene, his study on Expressed sequence tag, Homology and Gene expression overlaps with subjects such as Mesorhizobium loti.

His most cited work include:

  • The complete genome sequence of the Gram-positive bacterium Bacillus subtilis (3335 citations)
  • Swine and Poultry Pathogens: the Complete Genome Sequences of Two Strains of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae and a Strain of Mycoplasma synoviae (277 citations)
  • Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis: microbiology, biochemical properties, pathogenesis and molecular studies of virulence (256 citations)

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

Vasco Azevedo mostly deals with Microbiology, Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis, Genome, Genetics and Gene. His Microbiology study combines topics in areas such as Bacteria, Virology, Lactococcus lactis and Virulence. His Lactococcus lactis study also includes

  • Antigen and related Immune system,
  • Colitis that intertwine with fields like Inflammatory bowel disease.

His studies in Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis integrate themes in fields like Biovar and Caseous lymphadenitis. His studies examine the connections between Genome and genetics, as well as such issues in Computational biology, with regards to In silico. His Whole genome sequencing study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Strain and Pseudogene.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Microbiology (39.49%)
  • Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis (23.73%)
  • Genome (23.55%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2019-2021)?

  • Genome (23.55%)
  • Microbiology (39.49%)
  • Computational biology (12.68%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Genome, Microbiology, Computational biology, Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis and Genetics. His Genome study is concerned with the field of Gene as a whole. His Microbiology study incorporates themes from Virulence factor, Antigen and Staphylococcus aureus.

His Computational biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Amino acid, In silico, Reverse vaccinology, Peptide and Gene regulatory network. While the research belongs to areas of Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis, Vasco Azevedo spends his time largely on the problem of Caseous lymphadenitis, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Virulence, Recombinant DNA and Adjuvant. His research in Virulence intersects with topics in Proteome and Bacteria.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Clinical Applications of Antimicrobial Peptides (AMPs): Where do we Stand Now? (18 citations)
  • Multi-omics-based identification of SARS-CoV-2 infection biology and candidate drugs against COVID-19. (17 citations)
  • Multi-epitope based vaccine against yellow fever virus applying immunoinformatics approaches. (15 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Bacteria
  • DNA

His main research concerns Virus, Computational biology, Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, Genome and Gene. Vasco Azevedo interconnects Lactic acid bacterium, Eukaryotic cell, Lactococcus lactis and Gene regulatory network in the investigation of issues within Computational biology. Genome is a subfield of Genetics that he tackles.

Vasco Azevedo studies Gene, namely Virulence. His research on Pathogenicity island also deals with topics like

  • Pan-genome that intertwine with fields like Virology,
  • Biovar that connect with fields like In silico, Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis and Caseous lymphadenitis. As a part of the same scientific family, Vasco Azevedo mostly works in the field of Pathogen, focusing on Inflammasome and, on occasion, Microbiology.
