Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Psychiatry
  • Major depressive disorder

Falk Kiefer mainly investigates Acamprosate, Internal medicine, Naltrexone, Addiction and Psychiatry. He combines subjects such as Anesthesia, Relapse prevention, Alcohol dependence and Pharmacology with his study of Acamprosate. He interconnects Genome-wide association study, Single-nucleotide polymorphism, Audiology, Atrial natriuretic peptide and Allele in the investigation of issues within Alcohol dependence.

His Internal medicine study deals with Endocrinology intersecting with Detoxification. His Naltrexone study combines topics in areas such as Placebo, Pharmacotherapy, Randomized controlled trial and Craving. His Addiction study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Precision medicine, Cognitive psychology, Functional magnetic resonance imaging, Opiate and Brain mapping.

His most cited work include:

  • Genome-wide association study of alcohol dependence. (323 citations)
  • Comparing and Combining Naltrexone and Acamprosate in Relapse Prevention of Alcoholism: A Double-blind, Placebo-Controlled Study (322 citations)
  • A genome-wide association study confirms PNPLA3 and identifies TM6SF2 and MBOAT7 as risk loci for alcohol-related cirrhosis (243 citations)

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

Falk Kiefer focuses on Internal medicine, Psychiatry, Alcohol dependence, Endocrinology and Addiction. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Alcohol, Craving, Cue reactivity and Oncology. The concepts of his Craving study are interwoven with issues in Acamprosate, Naltrexone and Abstinence.

His work deals with themes such as Relapse prevention, Placebo and Pharmacology, which intersect with Acamprosate. The Psychiatry study combines topics in areas such as Disulfiram and Clinical psychology. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Addiction, Ventral striatum is strongly linked to Functional magnetic resonance imaging.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Internal medicine (30.29%)
  • Psychiatry (22.45%)
  • Alcohol dependence (20.63%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Alcohol use disorder (6.79%)
  • Addiction (19.32%)
  • Alcohol dependence (20.63%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Alcohol use disorder, Addiction, Alcohol dependence, Internal medicine and Craving. The study incorporates disciplines such as Clinical trial and Prefrontal cortex in addition to Alcohol dependence. Falk Kiefer has researched Internal medicine in several fields, including Gastroenterology, Single-nucleotide polymorphism, Abstinence and Cue reactivity.

His studies in Abstinence integrate themes in fields like Randomized controlled trial and Acamprosate. His Craving research includes themes of Placebo, Endocrinology, Calcium and Pharmacology. In his study, Oncology is strongly linked to Naltrexone, which falls under the umbrella field of Alcohol.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Heterozygous carriage of the alpha1-antitrypsin Pi*Z variant increases the risk to develop liver cirrhosis (49 citations)
  • Addiction Research Consortium: Losing and regaining control over drug intake (ReCoDe)-From trajectories to mechanisms and interventions. (40 citations)
  • Did the General Population in Germany Drink More Alcohol during the COVID-19 Pandemic Lockdown? (25 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Psychiatry
  • Major depressive disorder

Alcohol dependence, Internal medicine, Clinical psychology, Alcohol use disorder and Addiction are his primary areas of study. His Alcohol dependence study results in a more complete grasp of Alcohol. His research in Alcohol tackles topics such as Dopamine which are related to areas like Abstinence.

His Internal medicine research incorporates themes from Endocrinology, Gastroenterology, Single-nucleotide polymorphism and Craving, Cue reactivity. His work carried out in the field of Endocrinology brings together such families of science as Aldehyde dehydrogenase and Alcohol dehydrogenase. His research in Addiction intersects with topics in Stressor, Cognition, Priming and Drug.
