Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Internal medicine
  • Tuberculosis

His main research concerns Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Tuberculosis, Genetics, Restriction fragment length polymorphism and Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex. The concepts of his Mycobacterium tuberculosis study are interwoven with issues in Phylogenetic tree, Microbiology, Sputum, Locus and Polymerase chain reaction. His Microbiology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Phagolysosome and Mycobacterium.

His Tuberculosis research incorporates elements of Internal medicine, Epidemiology, Virology, Immunology and Drug resistance. His Restriction fragment length polymorphism research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Typing and DNA profiling. His Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex research includes themes of Population genetics, Direct repeat, Chromosomal region, Phylogenetics and Multilocus sequence typing.

His most cited work include:

  • Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex genetic diversity: mining the fourth international spoligotyping database (SpolDB4) for classification, population genetics and epidemiology (899 citations)
  • Multidrug-resistant and extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis: a threat to global control of tuberculosis (753 citations)
  • Automated High-Throughput Genotyping for Study of Global Epidemiology of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Based on Mycobacterial Interspersed Repetitive Units (557 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Tuberculosis, Microbiology, Genotype and Genetics. He is involved in the study of Mycobacterium tuberculosis that focuses on Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex in particular. His studies in Tuberculosis integrate themes in fields like Internal medicine, Immunology and Multiple drug resistance, Drug resistance.

His research investigates the connection between Drug resistance and topics such as Pharmacology that intersect with issues in Antibiotics. His Microbiology research also works with subjects such as

  • Mycobacterium, which have a strong connection to Mycobacterium microti,
  • Nontuberculous mycobacteria and related Mycobacterium abscessus. The concepts of his Virology study are interwoven with issues in Multidrug-Resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Epidemiology and Polymerase chain reaction.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Mycobacterium tuberculosis (67.71%)
  • Tuberculosis (59.87%)
  • Microbiology (29.15%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Tuberculosis (59.87%)
  • Mycobacterium tuberculosis (67.71%)
  • Drug resistance (16.93%)

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

Dick van Soolingen mainly focuses on Tuberculosis, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Drug resistance, Genetics and Whole genome sequencing. Dick van Soolingen performs integrative study on Tuberculosis and Transmission. His Mycobacterium tuberculosis research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Lineage, Multiple drug resistance and Genotype.

His Genotype study deals with Virology intersecting with Disease cluster, Capreomycin and Drug susceptibility. His Whole genome sequencing study also includes fields such as

  • SNP, which have a strong connection to Monophyly, DNA sequencing, Genetic diversity and Phylogenetic tree,
  • Multilocus sequence typing which is related to area like Genetic relatedness, Molecular typing and Environmental health,
  • Zoonosis and related In silico, Identification, Bioinformatics and Clade. His DNA profiling research incorporates themes from rpoB and Molecular epidemiology.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Prediction of Susceptibility to First-Line Tuberculosis Drugs by DNA Sequencing. (178 citations)
  • Treatment of isoniazid-resistant tuberculosis with first-line drugs: a systematic review and meta-analysis (114 citations)
  • A cluster of multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis among patients arriving in Europe from the Horn of Africa: a molecular epidemiological study (70 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Internal medicine
  • DNA

Dick van Soolingen mostly deals with Tuberculosis, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Genetics, Whole genome sequencing and Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex. Dick van Soolingen interconnects Internal medicine, Antibiotic resistance and Drug resistance in the investigation of issues within Tuberculosis. His Drug resistance research focuses on subjects like Isoniazid, which are linked to Disease.

In his study, Capreomycin, Disease cluster and Multidrug-Resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis is inextricably linked to Virology, which falls within the broad field of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The various areas that Dick van Soolingen examines in his Whole genome sequencing study include DNA profiling, Genetic epidemiology, Concordance, Genotyping and Molecular epidemiology. His Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of SNP, Subspecies, Zoonosis and Clade.
