Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Immune system
  • Gene
  • Virus

His primary areas of investigation include Virology, Immunology, Epitope, T cell and Viral replication. His studies in Virology integrate themes in fields like Cytotoxic T cell, Immunodominance and Human leukocyte antigen, Antigen. His Immunology study typically links adjacent topics like Disease.

His Epitope research includes elements of Mutation, Seroconversion and CTL*. His T cell study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Virus latency, Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, Viral load, Molecular biology and Stem cell. His research integrates issues of Reverse transcriptase, Downregulation and upregulation, ELISPOT, Kinase and Transcription in his study of Viral replication.

His most cited work include:

  • Comprehensive Epitope Analysis of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 (HIV-1)-Specific T-Cell Responses Directed against the Entire Expressed HIV-1 Genome Demonstrate Broadly Directed Responses, but No Correlation to Viral Load (647 citations)
  • Influence of HLA-B57 on clinical presentation and viral control during acute HIV-1 infection. (329 citations)
  • Loss of HIV-1–specific CD8+ T Cell Proliferation after Acute HIV-1 Infection and Restoration by Vaccine-induced HIV-1–specific CD4+ T Cells (321 citations)

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

Immunology, Virology, Cytotoxic T cell, Immune system and CD8 are his primary areas of study. Immunology is a component of his Human leukocyte antigen, Viral replication, T cell, Viral load and Viremia studies. His Virology study focuses on Virus in particular.

Xu G. Yu has included themes like Interferon gamma, Antigen and Cell biology in his Cytotoxic T cell study. His studies deal with areas such as Myeloid and Cell as well as Immune system. The CD8 study which covers Cancer research that intersects with Apoptosis.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Immunology (55.74%)
  • Virology (64.48%)
  • Cytotoxic T cell (27.87%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Virology (64.48%)
  • Immunology (55.74%)
  • Viral load (31.69%)

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

His main research concerns Virology, Immunology, Viral load, Immune system and Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. Xu G. Yu studies Virology, focusing on Virus in particular. His work in the fields of Immunology, such as T cell, Inflammation, CD8 and Systemic inflammation, overlaps with other areas such as CD16.

His work in Inflammation covers topics such as Lung which are related to areas like CTL*, Cytotoxic T cell and Fibrosis. His Viral load research integrates issues from Odds ratio, Internal medicine, Clinical trial, Pregnancy and Viremia. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Myeloid, Disease and B cell.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Loss of Bcl-6-Expressing T Follicular Helper Cells and Germinal Centers in COVID-19. (175 citations)
  • Persistence and Evolution of SARS-CoV-2 in an Immunocompromised Host. (168 citations)
  • Viral epitope profiling of COVID-19 patients reveals cross-reactivity and correlates of severity. (128 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Immune system
  • Virus

His primary areas of investigation include Virology, Viral load, Antiretroviral therapy, Chromatin and Gene. His study in Virology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Host and Human genome. His Viral load research includes themes of Pregnancy, Internal medicine, Severity of illness, Fatal outcome and Viremia.

His Antiretroviral therapy research incorporates themes from Persistently infected, Provirus, Clinical trial and Intensive care medicine. The various areas that Xu G. Yu examines in his Chromatin study include Satellite DNA, Genome and Gene silencing. Many of his research projects under Gene are closely connected to Multiple displacement amplification with Multiple displacement amplification, tying the diverse disciplines of science together.
