Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Internal medicine
  • Enzyme

Huda Akil mainly focuses on Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Neuroscience, Receptor and Opioid receptor. Her studies examine the connections between Internal medicine and genetics, as well as such issues in Nucleus, with regards to Ventral tegmental area. Her Endocrinology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Mineralocorticoid receptor and In situ hybridization.

In her study, Rat brain is inextricably linked to Opioid, which falls within the broad field of Neuroscience. Her research in Receptor intersects with topics in Drug tolerance, Binding site and Cell biology. Her Opioid receptor research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Molecular cloning and Opioid peptide.

Her most cited work include:

  • Genetic relationship between five psychiatric disorders estimated from genome-wide SNPs (1634 citations)
  • Evolving gene/transcript definitions significantly alter the interpretation of GeneChip data. (1603 citations)
  • Large-scale genome-wide association analysis of bipolar disorder identifies a new susceptibility locus near ODZ4 (1169 citations)

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

Huda Akil spends much of her time researching Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Neuroscience, Receptor and Pharmacology. Internal medicine and In situ hybridization are commonly linked in her work. Her Endocrinology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Neuropeptide and Dynorphin.

Central nervous system, Addiction, Nucleus accumbens and Major depressive disorder are the core of her Neuroscience study. Her Receptor study results in a more complete grasp of Biochemistry. Her study ties her expertise on -Naloxone together with the subject of Pharmacology.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Internal medicine (47.28%)
  • Endocrinology (46.98%)
  • Neuroscience (23.56%)

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

  • Endocrinology (46.98%)
  • Internal medicine (47.28%)
  • Neuroscience (23.56%)

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

Her primary areas of investigation include Endocrinology, Internal medicine, Neuroscience, Major depressive disorder and Psychiatry. Her Endocrinology research incorporates themes from Receptor and Fibroblast growth factor. In Internal medicine, Huda Akil works on issues like Novelty, which are connected to Dopaminergic.

Her work in Neuroscience addresses issues such as Anxiety, which are connected to fields such as Behavioural despair test, Offspring and Physiology. Her work investigates the relationship between Major depressive disorder and topics such as Human brain that intersect with problems in Transcriptome. In her research on the topic of Psychiatry, microRNA is strongly related with Bioinformatics.

Between 2011 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Genetic relationship between five psychiatric disorders estimated from genome-wide SNPs (1634 citations)
  • Genome-wide association study identifies 30 loci associated with bipolar disorder (657 citations)
  • Psychiatric genome-wide association study analyses implicate neuronal, immune and histone pathways (550 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Internal medicine
  • Enzyme

Huda Akil mostly deals with Neuroscience, Endocrinology, Internal medicine, Major depressive disorder and Bipolar disorder. Her work in the fields of Neuroscience, such as Addiction, overlaps with other areas such as SLC1A2. Her work carried out in the field of Endocrinology brings together such families of science as Receptor and Dorsolateral prefrontal cortex.

Internal medicine is closely attributed to Candidate gene in her research. Huda Akil has researched Major depressive disorder in several fields, including Hippocampal formation, Microarray, Mood disorders and Bioinformatics. Huda Akil has included themes like Anterior cingulate cortex and Schizophrenia in her Bipolar disorder study.
