Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Bacteria
  • Enzyme

His primary areas of study are Gut flora, Microbiology, Ecology, Bacteroides and Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron. The study incorporates disciplines such as Microbiome, Bioinformatics and Motility in addition to Gut flora. His Microbiology research includes themes of Intestinal mucosa, Mucus, Metabolic pathway, Aromatic amino acids and Metabolome.

Justin L. Sonnenburg has researched Ecology in several fields, including Evolutionary biology and Gut microbiome. His Bacteroides study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Clostridium difficile and Metagenomics. His study looks at the relationship between Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron and topics such as Biochemistry, which overlap with Clostridium sporogenes and Intestinal permeability.

His most cited work include:

  • Host-Bacterial Mutualism in the Human Intestine (3386 citations)
  • Diet–microbiota interactions as moderators of human metabolism (825 citations)
  • Glycan Foraging in Vivo by an Intestine-Adapted Bacterial Symbiont (776 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Gut flora, Microbiology, Microbiome, Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron and Bacteroides. His Gut flora study introduces a deeper knowledge of Immunology. The various areas that Justin L. Sonnenburg examines in his Microbiology study include Inflammation, Host and Mucus.

His Microbiome study also includes fields such as

  • Ecology that connect with fields like Evolutionary biology,
  • Proteomics most often made with reference to Computational biology. Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron is frequently linked to Biochemistry in his study. His Bacteroides research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Gastrointestinal tract and Intestinal mucosa.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Gut flora (34.16%)
  • Microbiology (32.30%)
  • Microbiome (22.36%)

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

  • Gut flora (34.16%)
  • Microbiology (32.30%)
  • Microbiome (22.36%)

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

Justin L. Sonnenburg mostly deals with Gut flora, Microbiology, Microbiome, Bacteria and Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron. The concepts of his Gut flora study are interwoven with issues in Host and Physiology. His study in Microbiology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Commensalism, Mucin, Prebiotic and Akkermansia muciniphila.

His work deals with themes such as Metaproteomics, Proteomics, Immunology and Ecology, which intersect with Microbiome. His studies examine the connections between Bacteria and genetics, as well as such issues in Mutant, with regards to Metabolic pathway. His research on Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron also deals with topics like

  • Bacteriophage which connect with Bacteroides, Isolation and Genome,
  • Isothiocyanate which is related to area like Gastrointestinal tract.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The ancestral and industrialized gut microbiota and implications for human health (87 citations)
  • Recovery of the Gut Microbiota after Antibiotics Depends on Host Diet, Community Context, and Environmental Reservoirs. (50 citations)
  • Links between environment, diet, and the hunter-gatherer microbiome. (48 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Bacteria
  • Enzyme

Justin L. Sonnenburg mainly focuses on Gut flora, Microbiome, Ecology, Microbiology and Cell biology. Justin L. Sonnenburg integrates Gut flora with Intervention studies in his research. He has included themes like Obesity, Weight loss and Diet therapy in his Microbiome study.

His research in Ecology intersects with topics in Western Diets, Antibiotic resistance and Human biology. His work deals with themes such as G protein-coupled bile acid receptor, Lithocholic acid, Bile acid, Pouchitis and Dysbiosis, which intersect with Microbiology. As part of one scientific family, Justin L. Sonnenburg deals mainly with the area of Host, narrowing it down to issues related to the Treatment history, and often Bacteroides and Antibiotics.
