Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Genetics

Yun C. Chang mostly deals with Microbiology, Virulence, Cryptococcus neoformans, Gene and Aspergillus fumigatus. He has researched Microbiology in several fields, including Fungal genetics, NADPH oxidase, Chronic granulomatous disease and Aspergillus nidulans. His research in Virulence intersects with topics in Complementation and Mutant.

His Mutant study incorporates themes from Sequence analysis and Transmembrane domain. His Cryptococcus neoformans study results in a more complete grasp of Genetics. His Aspergillus fumigatus research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Conidiation and Aspergillus.

His most cited work include:

  • A developmentally regulated gene cluster involved in conidial pigment biosynthesis in Aspergillus fumigatus. (295 citations)
  • The Developmentally Regulated alb1 Gene of Aspergillus fumigatus: Its Role in Modulation of Conidial Morphology and Virulence (288 citations)
  • Cryptococcus neoformans overcomes stress of azole drugs by formation of disomy in specific multiple chromosomes. (284 citations)

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

Cryptococcus neoformans, Microbiology, Gene, Virulence and Genetics are his primary areas of study. His Cryptococcus neoformans research includes themes of Yeast, Cryptococcosis, Fungal protein, Cell biology and Mating type. His biological study focuses on Aspergillus fumigatus.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Conidium, Conidiation, Aspergillus and Chronic granulomatous disease. Gene is a primary field of his research addressed under Biochemistry. His Virulence research includes elements of Regulation of gene expression, Gene product and Sterol regulatory element-binding protein.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Cryptococcus neoformans (63.86%)
  • Microbiology (53.01%)
  • Gene (42.17%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Gene (42.17%)
  • Cryptococcus neoformans (63.86%)
  • Microbiology (53.01%)

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

Yun C. Chang mainly focuses on Gene, Cryptococcus neoformans, Microbiology, Cryptococcus gattii and Amino acid. His Gene study is concerned with the larger field of Genetics. In general Genetics study, his work on Virulence and Phenotype often relates to the realm of Swap, thereby connecting several areas of interest.

His studies in Cryptococcus neoformans integrate themes in fields like Extracellular, Immune system, Chromosome, Cryptococcosis and Ploidy. His Microbiology study typically links adjacent topics like Chronic granulomatous disease. His Cryptococcus gattii study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Evolutionary biology, Phylogenetic tree, Wild type, Mutant and Endocytic cycle.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The Case for Adopting the "Species Complex" Nomenclature for the Etiologic Agents of Cryptococcosis. (231 citations)
  • Genetic Analysis Using an Isogenic Mating Pair of Aspergillus fumigatus Identifies Azole Resistance Genes and Lack of MAT Locus’s Role in Virulence (37 citations)
  • A New Lineage of Cryptococcus gattii (VGV) Discovered in the Central Zambezian Miombo Woodlands. (23 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Genetics

His main research concerns Cryptococcus gattii, Microbiology, Cryptococcosis, Cryptococcus neoformans and Phylogenetic tree. His Cryptococcus gattii research includes elements of Efflux, Fluconazole, Gene expression and Mutant. His research in the fields of Aspergillus overlaps with other disciplines such as Neutropenia.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Immune system and Interferon inducer in addition to Cryptococcosis. His Cryptococcus neoformans research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Inflammation and Poly ICLC. His Phylogenetic tree research focuses on subjects like Evolutionary biology, which are linked to Ecology, Clade, Genetic diversity and Species complex.
