Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study John Westwick is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Immune system
  • Cytokine

His work often combines Biochemistry and Computational biology studies. John Westwick performs multidisciplinary study on Computational biology and Biochemistry in his works. John Westwick connects Immunology with Lymphocyte in his research. Lymphocyte and Immunology are two areas of study in which John Westwick engages in interdisciplinary work. His research brings together the fields of Consensus conference and Internal medicine. Consensus conference is frequently linked to Internal medicine in his study. Endocrinology and Endothelium are frequently intertwined in his study. His Endocrinology research extends to the thematically linked field of Endothelium. Many of his studies on Gene apply to Western blot as well.

His most cited work include:

  • Interleukin-8 gene expression by a pulmonary epithelial cell line. A model for cytokine networks in the lung. (639 citations)
  • Low-molecular-weight heparin and prevention of postoperative deep vein thrombosis. (161 citations)
  • Expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase activity in human colon epithelial cells: modulation by T lymphocyte derived cytokines (131 citations)

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

John Westwick links relevant study fields such as Prostacyclin and Platelet-activating factor in the subject of Endocrinology. His research combines Endocrinology and Prostacyclin. His Platelet studies intersect with other subjects such as Thromboxane, Thromboxane A2 and Thromboxane B2. John Westwick integrates many fields, such as Thromboxane A2 and Platelet, in his works. His Protein kinase C research covers fields of interest such as Signal transduction, Phorbol and Kinase. He merges Signal transduction with Receptor in his study. His Calcium in biology research extends to the thematically linked field of Receptor. He integrates several fields in his works, including Kinase and Protein kinase C. The research on T cell and Chemokine is part of his Immune system project.

John Westwick most often published in these fields:

  • Internal medicine (64.10%)
  • Biochemistry (58.97%)
  • Immunology (46.15%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2000-2011)?

  • Internal medicine (100.00%)
  • Endocrinology (75.00%)
  • Platelet (50.00%)

In recent works John Westwick was focusing on the following fields of study:

Extracellular, Leukotriene B4 and Platelet-activating factor are fields of study that overlap with his Inflammation research. His study deals with a combination of Extracellular and Inflammation. He frequently studies issues relating to Leukotriene B4 and Internal medicine. His Platelet-activating factor research extends to Endocrinology, which is thematically connected. Many of his studies on Platelet apply to Platelet aggregation as well. He frequently studies issues relating to Platelet and Platelet aggregation. Many of his studies on Immunology apply to Pathogenesis as well. His research on Pathogenesis frequently links to adjacent areas such as Immunology. John Westwick combines Prostacyclin and Thromboxane B2 in his research.

Between 2000 and 2011, his most popular works were:

  • Endotoxin, prostaglandins and renal fibrin deposition in obstructive jaundice (34 citations)
  • Do prostacyclin and thromboxane play a role in endotoxic shock? (33 citations)
  • Leukotriene B4 release by human lung macrophages via receptor- not voltage-operated Ca2+ channels (10 citations)
