Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Internal medicine
  • Retina

José-Alain Sahel focuses on Retina, Retinitis pigmentosa, Retinal, Genetics and Cell biology. His study in Retina is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Internal medicine, Stem cell and Anatomy. His Retinitis pigmentosa research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Stargardt disease and Visual prosthesis.

His research integrates issues of Molecular biology, Neuroscience and Programmed cell death in his study of Retinal. José-Alain Sahel has included themes like Retinal Rod Photoreceptor Cells, Anaerobic glycolysis, Induced pluripotent stem cell, Glucose transporter and Retinal Cone Photoreceptor Cells in his Cell biology study. His Gene research incorporates elements of Degeneration and Night vision.

His most cited work include:

  • A large genome-wide association study of age-related macular degeneration highlights contributions of rare and common variants (638 citations)
  • Seven new loci associated with age-related macular degeneration (584 citations)
  • Interim Results from the International Trial of Second Sight's Visual Prosthesis (474 citations)

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

His main research concerns Retinal, Retina, Ophthalmology, Cell biology and Retinitis pigmentosa. The study incorporates disciplines such as Optical coherence tomography, Macular degeneration and Pathology in addition to Retinal. His study looks at the relationship between Retina and topics such as Molecular biology, which overlap with Gene.

His research integrates issues of Retinopathy and Surgery in his study of Ophthalmology. His Cell biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Retinal ganglion cell, Induced pluripotent stem cell and Retinal Rod Photoreceptor Cells. His Retinitis pigmentosa research is within the category of Genetics.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Retinal (40.65%)
  • Retina (34.27%)
  • Ophthalmology (23.46%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Retinal (40.65%)
  • Ophthalmology (23.46%)
  • Retina (34.27%)

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

José-Alain Sahel mostly deals with Retinal, Ophthalmology, Retina, Retinitis pigmentosa and Cell biology. His Retinal study incorporates themes from Adaptive optics, Biophysics, Autofluorescence and Macular degeneration. His Visual acuity and Uveitis study in the realm of Ophthalmology interacts with subjects such as In patient.

His work deals with themes such as Opsin and Optogenetics, which intersect with Retina. His work carried out in the field of Retinitis pigmentosa brings together such families of science as Retinal degeneration, Dystrophy, Visual field and Mutation. His Cell biology research incorporates elements of Cell, Degeneration, Receptor, Gene and Induced pluripotent stem cell.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Restoration of visual function by transplantation of optogenetically engineered photoreceptors (40 citations)
  • Restoration of visual function by transplantation of optogenetically engineered photoreceptors (40 citations)
  • Restoration of visual function by transplantation of optogenetically engineered photoreceptors (40 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Internal medicine
  • Retina

José-Alain Sahel mainly investigates Retinal, Ophthalmology, Visual acuity, Cell biology and Neuroscience. His Retinal research integrates issues from Cell, Retina, Gene expression and Macular degeneration. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Laser Doppler velocimetry, Axon, Optogenetics and Biomedical engineering.

He interconnects Clinical endpoint, Phases of clinical research and LEBER HEREDITARY OPTIC NEUROPATHY in the investigation of issues within Ophthalmology. José-Alain Sahel studies Organoid, a branch of Cell biology. His Visual field study which covers Population study that intersects with Retinitis pigmentosa.
