1984 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Internal medicine
  • Retina

His primary areas of investigation include Retinitis pigmentosa, Electroretinography, Retinal, Genetics and Ophthalmology. He combines subjects such as Retinal degeneration, Dystrophy, Retinal implant, Prospective cohort study and Reference values with his study of Retinitis pigmentosa. His Electroretinography research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Erg, Leading edge, Photoreceptor activity and Biophysics.

In Retinal, David G. Birch works on issues like Retina, which are connected to Cell biology, Lipofuscin and Optic nerve. His research investigates the connection between Genetics and topics such as Retinal Disorder that intersect with problems in Nyctalopin, Congenital stationary night blindness, X-linked congenital stationary night blindness, Night vision and Degenerative disease. In the field of Ophthalmology, his study on Visual acuity and Eye disease overlaps with subjects such as Sham surgery and Ciliary neurotrophic factor.

His most cited work include:

  • Insights into the Function of Rim Protein in Photoreceptors and Etiology of Stargardt's Disease from the Phenotype in abcr Knockout Mice (745 citations)
  • A randomized controlled trial of early dietary supply of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids and mental development in term infants. (562 citations)
  • Effect of dietary omega-3 fatty acids on retinal function of very-low-birth-weight neonates. (497 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Ophthalmology, Retinitis pigmentosa, Genetics, Retinal and Electroretinography. His research in the fields of Visual acuity, Stargardt disease and Eye disease overlaps with other disciplines such as In patient. His studies in Retinitis pigmentosa integrate themes in fields like Retinal degeneration, Optical coherence tomography, Proband, Genetic linkage and Visual field.

As part of his studies on Genetics, David G. Birch often connects relevant areas like Molecular biology. His work in Retinal addresses issues such as Retina, which are connected to fields such as Cell biology and Anatomy. David G. Birch has included themes like Erg, Visual phototransduction and Retinal Rod Photoreceptor Cells in his Electroretinography study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ophthalmology (37.96%)
  • Retinitis pigmentosa (31.71%)
  • Genetics (23.61%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Ophthalmology (37.96%)
  • Retinitis pigmentosa (31.71%)
  • Visual acuity (13.89%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Ophthalmology, Retinitis pigmentosa, Visual acuity, Stargardt disease and Genetics. His Scotopic vision, Retinal, Electroretinography and Macular degeneration study in the realm of Ophthalmology connects with subjects such as In patient. His Retinal research integrates issues from Stimulus, Full field and Anatomy.

His Retinitis pigmentosa study results in a more complete grasp of Retina. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Retinal pigment epithelium, Optometry, Prospective cohort study and Retrospective cohort study. His Stargardt disease study combines topics in areas such as Lesion, Microperimetry, Fundus autofluorescence and Atrophy.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Five-Year Safety and Performance Results from the Argus II Retinal Prosthesis System Clinical Trial (169 citations)
  • Next generation sequencing-based molecular diagnosis of retinitis pigmentosa: identification of a novel genotype-phenotype correlation and clinical refinements (155 citations)
  • Long-Term Results from an Epiretinal Prosthesis to Restore Sight to the Blind (148 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Internal medicine
  • Retina

Visual acuity, Retinitis pigmentosa, Ophthalmology, Stargardt disease and Genetics are his primary areas of study. His Visual acuity study incorporates themes from Retinal pigment epithelium, Retina, Retinal and Optometry. His Retinitis pigmentosa research includes elements of Retinal degeneration, Optical coherence tomography, Randomized controlled trial, Nuclear medicine and Visual field.

His study in the field of Erg, Electroretinography, Scotopic vision and Photophobia also crosses realms of Fixation stability. His Stargardt disease research incorporates themes from Lesion, Clinical trial, Microperimetry, Retrospective cohort study and Prospective cohort study. His study explores the link between Genetics and topics such as Minigene that cross with problems in OPN1LW, Gene cluster, Cone dystrophy, OPN1MW and Gene conversion.
