Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Virus
  • Gene

His primary scientific interests are in Immunology, Internal medicine, Virus, Hepatitis C virus and Virology. His work on Viral disease, Viral load and Interferon gamma is typically connected to In patient as part of general Immunology study, connecting several disciplines of science. His research in Internal medicine intersects with topics in Gastroenterology, Interferon, Alpha interferon and Ribavirin.

His Virus study deals with Cerebrospinal fluid intersecting with Neopterin, Immunopathology and RNA virus. His Hepatitis C virus research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Liver biopsy and Hepatitis. His Virology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Pregnancy and Polymerase chain reaction.

His most cited work include:

  • Randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of interferon α-2b with and without ribavirin for chronic hepatitis C (609 citations)
  • Ribavirin treatment for patients with chronic hepatitis C: results of a placebo-controlled study (321 citations)
  • Core Promoter Mutations and Genotypes in Relation to Viral Replication and Liver Damage in East Asian Hepatitis B Virus Carriers (275 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Immunology, Virology, Internal medicine, Gastroenterology and Hepatitis C virus. His works in Virus, Viral disease, Hepatitis, Hepatitis C and Antibody are all subjects of inquiry into Immunology. Gunnar Norkrans works mostly in the field of Virology, limiting it down to topics relating to Genotype and, in certain cases, Steatosis and Body mass index, as a part of the same area of interest.

The concepts of his Internal medicine study are interwoven with issues in Interferon, Alpha interferon, Ribavirin and Pathology. His work carried out in the field of Gastroenterology brings together such families of science as Interferon alfa, Biopsy, Liver biopsy and Chemotherapy. Gunnar Norkrans combines subjects such as Alanine transaminase and Randomized controlled trial with his study of Hepatitis C virus.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Immunology (54.50%)
  • Virology (38.62%)
  • Internal medicine (38.62%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2020)?

  • Genotype (20.63%)
  • Internal medicine (38.62%)
  • Ribavirin (17.46%)

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

Gunnar Norkrans focuses on Genotype, Internal medicine, Ribavirin, Hepatitis C virus and Immunology. His study looks at the relationship between Genotype and topics such as Virology, which overlap with Anemia. His Internal medicine study incorporates themes from Gastroenterology and NS5B.

The Ribavirin study combines topics in areas such as Hepatitis C and Alpha interferon. Chemokine and Biomarker is closely connected to Interferon in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Hepatitis C virus. Virus is the focus of his Immunology research.

Between 2010 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Long-term clearance of hepatitis C virus following interferon α-2b or peginterferon α-2b, alone or in combination with ribavirin. (64 citations)
  • Interleukin 28B Gene Variation at rs12979860 Determines Early Viral Kinetics During Treatment in Patients Carrying Genotypes 2 or 3 of Hepatitis C Virus (46 citations)
  • IL28B polymorphisms determine early viral kinetics and treatment outcome in patients receiving peginterferon/ribavirin for chronic hepatitis C genotype 1 (44 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Virus
  • Gene

Gunnar Norkrans spends much of his time researching Hepatitis C virus, Ribavirin, Genotype, Immunology and Hepatitis C. His work is dedicated to discovering how Hepatitis C virus, Interferon are connected with Steatosis and Pharmacology and other disciplines. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Gastroenterology and Internal medicine.

In his research on the topic of Genotype, Anemia and Concomitant is strongly related with Virology. His work in the fields of Virus, cccDNA and Hepatitis B overlaps with other areas such as In patient. His studies deal with areas such as Alpha interferon and Hepacivirus as well as Hepatitis C.
