Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Virus

Wolfgang Hammerschmidt spends much of his time researching Virology, Virus, Epstein–Barr virus, Molecular biology and Signal transduction. As part of one scientific family, Wolfgang Hammerschmidt deals mainly with the area of Virology, narrowing it down to issues related to the Antigen presentation, and often Antigen-presenting cell and Epstein–Barr virus nuclear antigen 1. He has researched Virus in several fields, including Plasmid and Gene.

His Epstein–Barr virus research incorporates elements of Cell cycle, Germinal center, Epstein–Barr virus nuclear antigen 2 and BZLF1. His research on Molecular biology also deals with topics like

  • Cell culture that connect with fields like Viral matrix protein,
  • Regulation of gene expression which intersects with area such as Transcription factor and NFKB1. His Signal transduction research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Plasma protein binding, Epstein–Barr virus latent membrane protein 1 and CD40.

His most cited work include:

  • Genetic analysis of immortalizing functions of Epstein-Barr virus in human B lymphocytes. (469 citations)
  • Propagation and recovery of intact, infectious Epstein–Barr virus from prokaryotic to human cells (429 citations)
  • Epstein–Barr virus‐mediated B‐cell proliferation is dependent upon latent membrane protein 1, which simulates an activated CD40 receptor (416 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Virology, Virus, Epstein–Barr virus, Molecular biology and Gene. His work carried out in the field of Virology brings together such families of science as Plasmid, Immune system and Antigen. His Virus research focuses on Genome and how it relates to DNA.

His research in Epstein–Barr virus intersects with topics in Cell cycle, Cancer research, B cell and CD40. His Molecular biology research incorporates themes from Viral matrix protein, Transactivation, Promoter, Herpesvirus glycoprotein B and Fusion protein. Wolfgang Hammerschmidt interconnects Cell and Cell biology in the investigation of issues within Gene.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Virology (47.49%)
  • Virus (41.34%)
  • Epstein–Barr virus (37.99%)

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

  • Epstein–Barr virus (37.99%)
  • Cell biology (20.11%)
  • Virus (41.34%)

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

His main research concerns Epstein–Barr virus, Cell biology, Virus, Gene and Immune system. The subject of his Epstein–Barr virus research is within the realm of Virology. His studies in Virology integrate themes in fields like TLR9, microRNA and Antigen.

His Cell biology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Transcriptome, BZLF1, Chromatin, Histone and Lytic cycle. His work deals with themes such as Plasmid, Programmed cell death and Genomic library, which intersect with Virus. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Gene, Cell culture and Lymphoblast is strongly linked to Cell.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Epstein-Barr virus reprograms human B lymphocytes immediately in the prelatent phase of infection. (44 citations)
  • First Days in the Life of Naive Human B Lymphocytes Infected with Epstein-Barr Virus. (27 citations)
  • MicroRNAs of Epstein-Barr Virus Attenuate T-Cell-Mediated Immune Control In Vivo. (20 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Immune system

Epstein–Barr virus, Virus, Cell biology, microRNA and Virology are his primary areas of study. His Epstein–Barr virus study incorporates themes from T cell, Cell division, B cell, Cell cycle and Naive B cell. Wolfgang Hammerschmidt works mostly in the field of Virus, limiting it down to topics relating to CD8 and, in certain cases, Programmed cell death, as a part of the same area of interest.

Wolfgang Hammerschmidt has researched Cell biology in several fields, including DNA methylation, Transcriptome, BZLF1, Chromatin and Lytic cycle. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Lipid bilayer fusion and Effector. He has included themes like Reprogramming, Gene, Immune system and Antigen in his Virology study.
