Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Internal medicine

David A. Collier focuses on Genetics, Genome-wide association study, Psychosis, Schizophrenia and Allele. His Genetics study frequently draws connections to adjacent fields such as Odds ratio. His Genome-wide association study study incorporates themes from Allele frequency, Schizophrenia, Disease, Epigenetics of schizophrenia and Genetic architecture.

The various areas that he examines in his Psychosis study include Clozapine and Neuroscience. In his work, Serotonin transporter is strongly intertwined with Bipolar disorder, which is a subfield of Schizophrenia. His research in Allele intersects with topics in Population stratification, Cocaine dependence, Addiction and Clinical psychology.

His most cited work include:

  • Genome-wide association study of 14,000 cases of seven common diseases and 3,000 shared controls (7922 citations)
  • Biological insights from 108 schizophrenia-associated genetic loci (4834 citations)
  • Biological insights from 108 schizophrenia-associated genetic loci (4834 citations)

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

His main research concerns Genetics, Schizophrenia, Psychiatry, Internal medicine and Psychosis. Genetics is represented through his Allele, Genome-wide association study, Genetic association, Single-nucleotide polymorphism and Locus research. As a part of the same scientific family, David A. Collier mostly works in the field of Genome-wide association study, focusing on Odds ratio and, on occasion, Case-control study.

His Genetic association research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Linkage disequilibrium and Disease. His Schizophrenia research includes themes of Bipolar disorder, Neuroscience and Copy-number variation. His research integrates issues of Endocrinology, Polymorphism and Oncology in his study of Internal medicine.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (48.37%)
  • Schizophrenia (26.47%)
  • Psychiatry (22.88%)

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

  • Genetics (48.37%)
  • Genome-wide association study (19.77%)
  • Schizophrenia (26.47%)

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

His primary areas of study are Genetics, Genome-wide association study, Schizophrenia, Psychiatry and Genetic association. His research investigates the link between Genetics and topics such as Schizophrenia that cross with problems in DNA methylation and Neuroscience. He focuses mostly in the field of Genome-wide association study, narrowing it down to matters related to Drug development and, in some cases, Clinical study design.

His work deals with themes such as Bipolar disorder, Internal medicine, Psychosis and Phenotype, which intersect with Schizophrenia. His Eating disorders and Psychiatric genetics study in the realm of Psychiatry interacts with subjects such as Identification. His studies deal with areas such as Disease and Genomics as well as Genetic association.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Common schizophrenia alleles are enriched in mutation-intolerant genes and in regions under strong background selection (685 citations)
  • Common schizophrenia alleles are enriched in mutation-intolerant genes and in regions under strong background selection (685 citations)
  • Modeling Linkage Disequilibrium Increases Accuracy of Polygenic Risk Scores (575 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Internal medicine
  • Genetics

His primary areas of investigation include Genome-wide association study, Genetics, Psychiatry, Schizophrenia and Odds ratio. His Genome-wide association study study incorporates themes from Epigenetics and Genetic architecture. His work in Genetics is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses Schizophrenia.

His Psychiatry study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Computational biology and Genetic association. His studies in Genetic association integrate themes in fields like Disease and Genomics. His work is dedicated to discovering how Schizophrenia, Internal medicine are connected with Linkage disequilibrium and Endocrinology and other disciplines.
