His Mainland China research focuses on subjects like Outbreak, which are linked to Coronavirus. His Cohort study research integrates issues from Menarche and Pediatrics. Within one scientific family, Gabriel M. Leung focuses on topics pertaining to Virology under Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Pneumonia.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Early Transmission Dynamics in Wuhan, China, of Novel Coronavirus-Infected Pneumonia. (7137 citations)
  • Nowcasting and forecasting the potential domestic and international spread of the 2019-nCoV outbreak originating in Wuhan, China: a modelling study. (2315 citations)
  • Temporal dynamics in viral shedding and transmissibility of COVID-19. (2051 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Disease
  • World War II

Gabriel M. Leung focuses on Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, Virology, Coronavirus disease 2019, Demography and Outbreak. His work in Virology tackles topics such as Pneumonia which are related to areas like Respiratory system. His study in Coronavirus disease 2019 is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Healthcare system and 2019-20 coronavirus outbreak.

His work carried out in the field of Demography brings together such families of science as Young adult and Cohort. Gabriel M.
