OverviewAI-generated summary

Karl W. Boehme's research focuses on viral infections and host immune responses, with a significant portion of his work examining SARS-CoV-2 and reovirus.

He is the Principal Investigator on a $185,375 NIH/National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases grant studying reovirus induction of host inflammatory responses. His publications include investigations into ACE2 autoantibodies following SARS-CoV-2 infection, pediatric SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence in Arkansas, and temporal variations in seroprevalence by race and ethnicity. Boehme has also contributed to studies on the M2 gene's role in reovirus-induced myocarditis and the organization and future directions of the Serological Sciences Network (SeroNet) for COVID-19.

His scholarly output is marked by an h-index of 20 and over 3,151 citations across 55 publications. Boehme collaborates extensively with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including J. Craig Forrest, Joshua L. Kennedy, Laura P. James, and Shana M. Owens.
