What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Gene
- Internal medicine
- Disease
David J. Weatherall spends much of his time researching Genetics, Gene, Thalassemia, Globin and Malaria.
The Gene study combines topics in areas such as Molecular biology, Fetus and DNA.
His Thalassemia study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Sickle cell trait and Pediatrics.
His Malaria study incorporates themes from Red Cell, Anemia and Incidence.
His work deals with themes such as Heterozygote advantage, Internal medicine, Disease and Alpha-thalassemia, which intersect with Immunology.
His Demography research incorporates themes from Gerontology and Allele frequency.
His most cited work include:
- Disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) for 291 diseases and injuries in 21 regions, 1990-2010: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2010 (5887 citations)
- Abnormal human haemoglobins (1383 citations)
- Oxford textbook of medicine (1311 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
David J. Weatherall mostly deals with Genetics, Thalassemia, Gene, Immunology and Internal medicine.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Molecular biology and Hemoglobinopathy.
His work carried out in the field of Molecular biology brings together such families of science as Alpha and Beta.
His Thalassemia research includes elements of Hemoglobin and Pediatrics.
His Immunology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Red Cell, Anemia, Disease and Alpha-thalassemia.
His Internal medicine research integrates issues from Gastroenterology, Fetal hemoglobin and Endocrinology.
He most often published in these fields:
- Genetics (33.64%)
- Thalassemia (19.03%)
- Gene (18.11%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2020)?
- Thalassemia (19.03%)
- Pediatrics (9.89%)
- Genetics (33.64%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His primary areas of study are Thalassemia, Pediatrics, Genetics, Global health and Internal medicine.
His study in Thalassemia is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Hemoglobin, Anemia, Blood transfusion and Hemoglobinopathy.
His work deals with themes such as Hemoglobin variants and Molecular biology, which intersect with Genetics.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including International health and Demography.
His studies in Demography integrate themes in fields like Disease burden, Gerontology and Allele frequency.
His Internal medicine research includes elements of Gastroenterology and Endocrinology.
Between 2009 and 2020, his most popular works were:
- Disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) for 291 diseases and injuries in 21 regions, 1990-2010: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2010 (5887 citations)
- A systematic analysis of global anemia burden from 1990 to 2010 (825 citations)
- Global epidemiology of sickle haemoglobin in neonates: a contemporary geostatistical model-based map and population estimates. (508 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Gene
- Internal medicine
- Disease
David J. Weatherall mainly investigates Thalassemia, Global health, Demography, Public health and Malaria.
His research integrates issues of Quality-adjusted life year and Anemia in his study of Thalassemia.
His Global health study combines topics in areas such as Developing country, International health, Epidemiology and Pediatrics.
His Demography research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Non-communicable disease, Proportional hazards model, Gerontology and Allele frequency.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Disability-adjusted life year, Disease burden and Communicable disease in addition to Gerontology.
He has included themes like Heterozygous carrier, Ethnic group, Population genetics and Intensive care medicine in his Malaria study.
