Shapira was widely acknowledged as an enthusiastic researcher and a meticulous diagnostician in inherited metabolic disorders, and he published prolifically in both Hebrew and English. His early papers, co-authored with colleagues in Israel, focused on immunochemistry but were interspersed with papers on infectious disease and clinical syndromes. As Emmanuel's interests shifted to biochemical genetics and the lysosomal storage diseases, his enthusiasm and breadth of knowledge in biochemical genetics became the cornerstone of a laboratory that provided comprehensive services and management to the people of Louisiana and to patients referred by distant colleagues for evaluation. His students worked on cystic fibrosis, organic acidemias, the sphingolipidoses, carnitine deficiency, and a host of clinical genetic syndromes.
