Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Cancer
  • Gene

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Internal medicine, Odds ratio, Melanoma, Case-control study and Gastroenterology. He studied Internal medicine and Oncology that intersect with Pathology. The study incorporates disciplines such as Aspirin, Gynecology, Confidence interval and Risk factor in addition to Odds ratio.

His Melanoma study combines topics in areas such as Dermatology and Cancer registry, Incidence. The concepts of his Case-control study study are interwoven with issues in Relative risk, Cohort study and Obstetrics. His work in Gastroenterology addresses subjects such as GERD, which are connected to disciplines such as Abdominal obesity.

His most cited work include:

  • Genome-wide meta-analysis increases to 71 the number of confirmed Crohn's disease susceptibility loci (2035 citations)
  • Childhood sun exposure as a risk factor for melanoma: a systematic review of epidemiologic studies. (510 citations)
  • Melanocytic Nevi, Solar Keratoses, and Divergent Pathways to Cutaneous Melanoma (330 citations)

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

David C. Whiteman mostly deals with Internal medicine, Cancer, Oncology, Melanoma and Odds ratio. As part of his studies on Internal medicine, David C. Whiteman often connects relevant areas like Gastroenterology. His work deals with themes such as Relative risk, Gynecology, Incidence and Risk factor, which intersect with Cancer.

His Incidence research incorporates themes from Epidemiology and Surgery. In Melanoma, David C. Whiteman works on issues like Dermatology, which are connected to Skin cancer. He works mostly in the field of Odds ratio, limiting it down to topics relating to Confidence interval and, in certain cases, Cohort, as a part of the same area of interest.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Internal medicine (52.10%)
  • Cancer (26.45%)
  • Oncology (26.13%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Internal medicine (52.10%)
  • Oncology (26.13%)
  • Cancer (26.45%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Internal medicine, Oncology, Cancer, Melanoma and Genome-wide association study. The Internal medicine study which covers Gastroenterology that intersects with Esophagus and Esophageal disease. His research investigates the link between Oncology and topics such as Proportional hazards model that cross with problems in Cohort study.

His research in Cancer intersects with topics in Rectum and Overweight, Obesity. He has researched Melanoma in several fields, including Dermatology, Incidence, Cohort and Early detection. His work carried out in the field of Odds ratio brings together such families of science as Body mass index and Mendelian Randomization Analysis.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Genome-wide association study identifies eight risk loci and implicates metabo-psychiatric origins for anorexia nervosa (208 citations)
  • Genome-wide Association Study of Intraocular Pressure Uncovers New Pathways to Glaucoma (66 citations)
  • Global Incidence and mortality of oesophageal cancer and their correlation with socioeconomic indicators temporal patterns and trends in 41 countries (41 citations)

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

  • Cancer
  • Internal medicine
  • Gene

His primary areas of investigation include Internal medicine, Melanoma, Cancer, Skin cancer and Genome-wide association study. His Internal medicine study frequently links to related topics such as Oncology. His Melanoma research includes themes of Incidence and Early detection.

His studies in Cancer integrate themes in fields like Health insurance, Overweight, Obesity and Family medicine. His Genome-wide association study research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Intraocular pressure, Genetic association and Genetic architecture. The Cutaneous melanoma study combines topics in areas such as Dermatology and Nevus.
