What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
His scientific interests lie mostly in Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Microbiology, Tuberculosis, Virology and Genetics.
The concepts of his Mycobacterium tuberculosis study are interwoven with issues in Isoniazid and Biochemistry, Gene, Virulence.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Mycobacterium, Mutagenesis, Mutant, Mycobacterium smegmatis and In vivo in addition to Microbiology.
His Tuberculosis study also includes fields such as
- Immunology together with Infectious disease,
- Acquired immune system and related T cell.
While the research belongs to areas of Virology, William R. Jacobs spends his time largely on the problem of Immunocompetence, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Interferon gamma.
His Genetics research focuses on Mycobacteriophage and how it connects with Transformation, Shuttle vector and Genetic transfer.
His most cited work include:
- Effect of vasodilator therapy on mortality in chronic congestive heart failure. Results of a Veterans Administration Cooperative Study. (2014 citations)
- New use of BCG for recombinant vaccines. (1267 citations)
- inhA, a gene encoding a target for isoniazid and ethionamide in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (1164 citations)
