Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Retina
  • Gene

Retinitis pigmentosa, Ophthalmology, Genetics, Visual acuity and Eye disease are his primary areas of study. His work on Usher syndrome as part of his general Retinitis pigmentosa study is frequently connected to In patient, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. Many of his studies involve connections with topics such as Retina and Ophthalmology.

Many of his studies on Genetics apply to Retinal as well. His Visual acuity research includes themes of Fovea centralis, Pediatrics and Contrast. His research in Eye disease intersects with topics in Dioptre and Foveal.

His most cited work include:

  • Human gene therapy for RPE65 isomerase deficiency activates the retinoid cycle of vision but with slow rod kinetics (590 citations)
  • Gene Therapy for Leber Congenital Amaurosis Caused by RPE65 Mutations: Safety and Efficacy in 15 Children and Adults Followed Up to 3 Years (468 citations)
  • Rhodopsin mutations in autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa. (395 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Ophthalmology, Retinitis pigmentosa, Visual acuity, Retinal and Electroretinography. His work on Retina expands to the thematically related Ophthalmology. His study on Retinitis pigmentosa is covered under Genetics.

His Visual acuity research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Optical coherence tomography and Foveal. His Retinal research includes elements of Anatomy and Pathology. Gerald A. Fishman interconnects Erg and Retinoschisis in the investigation of issues within Electroretinography.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ophthalmology (48.54%)
  • Retinitis pigmentosa (29.08%)
  • Visual acuity (22.80%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2021)?

  • Ophthalmology (48.54%)
  • Visual acuity (22.80%)
  • Stargardt disease (7.74%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Ophthalmology, Visual acuity, Stargardt disease, Retinal and Genetics. His Ophthalmology research focuses on Pupillometry and how it relates to Pupillary light reflex. The concepts of his Visual acuity study are interwoven with issues in Fovea centralis, Retinal Cone Photoreceptor Cells, Retrospective cohort study and Audiology.

His Stargardt disease research integrates issues from Optometry and Microperimetry. His research integrates issues of Histopathology, Pathology, Retina and Anatomy in his study of Retinal. Gerald A. Fishman combines subjects such as Erg and Dystrophy with his study of Electroretinography.

Between 2011 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Gene Therapy for Leber Congenital Amaurosis Caused by RPE65 Mutations: Safety and Efficacy in 15 Children and Adults Followed Up to 3 Years (468 citations)
  • In vivo imaging of human cone photoreceptor inner segments. (236 citations)
  • iPS cell modeling of Best disease: insights into the pathophysiology of an inherited macular degeneration (163 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Retina
  • Gene

His main research concerns Ophthalmology, Visual acuity, Genetics, Retina and Retinal. Gerald A. Fishman undertakes multidisciplinary studies into Ophthalmology and In patient in his work. His work carried out in the field of Visual acuity brings together such families of science as Pupillometry, Electroretinography, Young adult, Ophthalmoscopy and Fovea centralis.

His work on RPE65 is typically connected to Cis-trans-Isomerases as part of general Retina study, connecting several disciplines of science. Gerald A. Fishman specializes in Retinal, namely Retinal degeneration. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Opsin, OPN1MW, Retinitis pigmentosa and Anatomy.
