Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Gene
  • Enzyme

Internal medicine, Disease, Wilson's disease, Zinc and Endocrinology are his primary areas of study. Internal medicine and Gastroenterology are frequently intertwined in his study. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Cancer, Copper deficiency, Copper toxicity, Toxicity and Immunology.

His Wilson's disease research integrates issues from Penicillamine, Chorea, Initial therapy, Dystonia and Copper metabolism. His Zinc study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Nuclear chemistry, Inorganic chemistry, Absorption, Intestinal absorption and Hypocupremia. He combines subjects such as Interleukin, Zinc deficiency and Copper with his study of Endocrinology.

His most cited work include:

  • Copper deficiency induced by tetrathiomolybdate suppresses tumor growth and angiogenesis. (312 citations)
  • Hypocupremia induced by zinc therapy in adults. (290 citations)
  • Serum thymulin in human zinc deficiency (278 citations)

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

George J. Brewer mainly investigates Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Wilson's disease, Zinc and Disease. The various areas that he examines in his Internal medicine study include Gastroenterology, Biochemistry and Copper. His Endocrinology research incorporates themes from Red Cell and Anemia.

His study in Wilson's disease is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Surgery, Penicillamine, Maintenance therapy and Pediatrics. His Zinc study frequently links to adjacent areas such as Sickle cell anemia. George J. Brewer has researched Disease in several fields, including Copper toxicity, Immunology, Liver disease, Ingestion and Physiology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Internal medicine (38.10%)
  • Endocrinology (23.54%)
  • Wilson's disease (23.81%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2004-2019)?

  • Disease (19.84%)
  • Internal medicine (38.10%)
  • Copper (14.81%)

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

George J. Brewer mostly deals with Disease, Internal medicine, Copper, Endocrinology and Copper toxicity. His specific area of interest is Disease, where George J. Brewer studies Wilson's disease. His research investigates the connection between Wilson's disease and topics such as Penicillamine that intersect with issues in Pediatrics and Double blind.

His Internal medicine research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Gastroenterology and Zinc deficiency. His Copper research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Zinc, Biochemistry, Toxicity and Bioinformatics. George J. Brewer has included themes like Diabetes mellitus and Alzheimer's disease in his Copper toxicity study.

Between 2004 and 2019, his most popular works were:

  • Treatment of wilson disease with ammonium tetrathiomolybdate. IV. Comparison of tetrathiomolybdate and trientine in a double-blind study of treatment of the neurologic presentation of wilson disease (201 citations)
  • Risks of copper and iron toxicity during aging in humans. (200 citations)
  • Iron and copper toxicity in diseases of aging, particularly atherosclerosis and Alzheimer's disease. (148 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Gene
  • Enzyme

His scientific interests lie mostly in Disease, Copper toxicity, Copper, Internal medicine and Endocrinology. The concepts of his Disease study are interwoven with issues in Toxicity, Pediatrics, Immunology and Surgery. His Copper toxicity research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Gerontology, Diabetes mellitus, Zinc, Physiology and Risk factor.

He interconnects XIAP, Pathology, Wilson's disease, Ceruloplasmin and Ingestion in the investigation of issues within Copper. His Wilson's disease study combines topics in areas such as Caspase 3, Biochemistry, MEDLINE and Copper metabolism. His Internal medicine research includes elements of Gastroenterology and Oncology.
