Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Virus
  • Gene

Virology, Immunology, Hepatitis B virus, Virus and Hepatitis are his primary areas of study. His biological study focuses on Hepatitis B. Howard C. Thomas has researched Immunology in several fields, including Liver disease and Genotype.

As part of the same scientific family, he usually focuses on Hepatitis B virus, concentrating on Viral replication and intersecting with Point mutation and Vaccination. His research investigates the connection with Virus and areas like Hypervariable region which intersect with concerns in Viral envelope, Viral quasispecies and Vector. His study in the field of Immune serum globulin is also linked to topics like Volunteer.

His most cited work include:

  • Molecular Cloning and Disease Association of Hepatitis G Virus: A Transfusion-Transmissible Agent (1257 citations)
  • MUTATION PREVENTING FORMATION OF HEPATITIS B e ANTIGEN IN PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC HEPATITIS B INFECTION (1081 citations)
  • Vaccine-induced escape mutant of hepatitis B virus (951 citations)

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

Howard C. Thomas focuses on Virology, Immunology, Virus, Hepatitis B virus and Internal medicine. His Virology research integrates issues from Antibody and Antigen. In his study, Chronic liver disease is inextricably linked to Liver disease, which falls within the broad field of Immunology.

Howard C. Thomas interconnects Alpha interferon and Immune system in the investigation of issues within Virus. The Internal medicine study combines topics in areas such as Gastroenterology and Endocrinology. His study in Hepatitis B is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Viral hepatitis and Hepatitis D.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Virology (52.66%)
  • Immunology (40.00%)
  • Virus (29.37%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2007-2019)?

  • Internal medicine (22.78%)
  • Hepatitis C (16.96%)
  • Immunology (40.00%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Internal medicine, Hepatitis C, Immunology, Hepatitis C virus and Gastroenterology. His Internal medicine research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Endocrinology, Surgery and Pathology. His study in Hepatitis C is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Viral hepatitis and Liver disease.

His Viral hepatitis study is concerned with the field of Virology as a whole. His Virology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Antibody and Antigen. Howard C. Thomas has included themes like Viral disease, Cholesterol and Hepatitis in his Hepatitis C virus study.

Between 2007 and 2019, his most popular works were:

  • Guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of cholangiocarcinoma: an update (474 citations)
  • Genome-wide association study identifies loci influencing concentrations of liver enzymes in plasma. (408 citations)
  • Genome-wide association study identifies loci influencing concentrations of liver enzymes in plasma. (408 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Gene
  • Virus

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Internal medicine, Hepatitis C, Hepatitis C virus, Cirrhosis and Gastroenterology. Hepatitis C is a subfield of Immunology that Howard C. Thomas studies. Howard C. Thomas does research in Immunology, focusing on Interferon specifically.

His research integrates issues of Apolipoprotein E, In vivo and Hepatitis in his study of Hepatitis C virus. His Cirrhosis research integrates issues from Hepatocellular carcinoma and Disease, Pathology. In Viral hepatitis, Howard C. Thomas works on issues like Environmental health, which are connected to Virology, Hepatitis B virus, Disease burden, Harm reduction and Transmission.
