Overview

Carl A. Anderson is affiliated with the Wellcome Sanger Institute in the United Kingdom. Their research primarily focuses on the fields of Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology, and Medicine, contributing to a total of 67 and 35 publications respectively in these areas. Within these fields, Anderson has significant work in subfields such as Genetics, Molecular Biology, Immunology, Surgery, and Epidemiology.

Their research covers a range of topics, notably Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Genetic Associations and Epidemiology, Single-cell and Spatial Transcriptomics, Helicobacter pylori-related Gastroenterology studies, Bioinformatics and Genomic Networks, Cancer Genomics and Diagnostics, and Celiac Disease Research and Management.

Anderson's frequent co-authors include Tim Raine, Miles Parkes, Rebecca E. McIntyre, Laura Fachal, and Tobi Alegbe. This reflects collaborative work with others in related research areas likely connected to gastrointestinal and immune-related diseases.

Publications by Anderson have appeared in various venues, with the highest number in bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), followed by the Journal of Crohn's and Colitis, Gastroenterology, Nature Genetics, and Nature Communications.

Recent papers illustrate a focus on genetic and cellular mechanisms underlying inflammatory and gastrointestinal conditions. These include:

  • Genome-wide analysis of 53,400 people with irritable bowel syndrome highlights shared genetic pathways with mood and anxiety disorders (2021, Nature Genetics)
  • Somatic Evolution in Non-neoplastic IBD-Affected Colon (2020, Cell)
  • Common and Rare Variant Prediction and Penetrance of IBD in a Large, Multi-ethnic, Health System-based Biobank Cohort (2020, Gastroenterology)
  • An Integrated Taxonomy for Monogenic Inflammatory Bowel Disease (2021, Gastroenterology)
  • Network expansion of genetic associations defines a pleiotropy map of human cell biology (2023, Nature Genetics)
