Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Internal medicine
  • Enzyme

His primary scientific interests are in Internal medicine, Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase, Endocrinology, Genotype and Homocysteine. The study incorporates disciplines such as Gastroenterology and Reductase in addition to Internal medicine. His Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase research focuses on Thermolabile and how it connects with Allele frequency, Pregnancy and Mutation.

His research on Endocrinology frequently links to adjacent areas such as Inflammation. The Genotype study combines topics in areas such as Odds ratio and Risk factor. His Homocysteine research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Case-control study, Genetics, Vitamin B12 and reductase.

His most cited work include:

  • Serum amyloid A, the major vertebrate acute-phase reactant. (881 citations)
  • The major acute phase reactants: C-reactive protein, serum amyloid P component and serum amyloid A protein (878 citations)
  • Regulation of serum amyloid A protein expression during the acute-phase response (348 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Internal medicine, Genetics, Endocrinology, Molecular biology and Genotype. His work deals with themes such as Gastroenterology, Reductase and Immunology, which intersect with Internal medicine. Alexander S. Whitehead studies Vitamin which is a part of Endocrinology.

In his study, Acute-phase protein, Tumor necrosis factor alpha, Amyloidosis and Polymerase chain reaction is strongly linked to Serum amyloid A, which falls under the umbrella field of Molecular biology. His Genotype study also includes fields such as

  • Allele that intertwine with fields like Cystathionine beta synthase,
  • Spina bifida which intersects with area such as Transmission disequilibrium test. He has included themes like Vitamin B12, Methionine synthase, Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase and B vitamins in his Homocysteine study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Internal medicine (38.41%)
  • Genetics (31.13%)
  • Endocrinology (29.14%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2006-2017)?

  • Internal medicine (38.41%)
  • Homocysteine (27.15%)
  • Genotype (27.15%)

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

Internal medicine, Homocysteine, Genotype, Endocrinology and Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase are his primary areas of study. His work carried out in the field of Internal medicine brings together such families of science as Gastroenterology, Reductase and Immunology. His Homocysteine study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Molecular biology, Formic acid, Dihydrofolate reductase and Risk factor.

His Genotype research incorporates themes from Offspring, Vitamin B12 and Allele. Alexander S. Whitehead interconnects Cystathionine beta synthase, Genetics and Polymorphism in the investigation of issues within Endocrinology. His Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase research includes elements of Physiology and Cohort.

Between 2006 and 2017, his most popular works were:

  • Dosing Algorithms to Predict Warfarin Maintenance Dose in Caucasians and African Americans (107 citations)
  • Warfarin response and vitamin K epoxide reductase complex 1 in African Americans and Caucasians. (99 citations)
  • Are common mutations of cystathionine β-synthase involved in the aetiology of neural tube defects? (75 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Internal medicine
  • Enzyme

Alexander S. Whitehead focuses on Internal medicine, Genotype, Endocrinology, Maintenance dose and Gastroenterology. His studies in Genotype integrate themes in fields like Cobalamin, Homocysteine, Immunology and B vitamins. His Homocysteine research includes themes of Transcobalamins, Cyanocobalamin, Vitamin B12 and Transcobalamin.

Endocrinology and Allele are commonly linked in his work. His Allele study is related to the wider topic of Genetics. His work is dedicated to discovering how Gastroenterology, Odds ratio are connected with Cancer, Epidermoid carcinoma, Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase, Skin cancer and Calcitriol receptor and other disciplines.
