Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Psychiatry
  • Major depressive disorder

Her main research concerns Psychiatry, Anorexia nervosa, Bulimia nervosa, Eating disorders and Genome-wide association study. Her Binge-eating disorder study in the realm of Psychiatry interacts with subjects such as Genetic architecture, Sexual abuse and Sexual desire. Her research investigates the connection with Bulimia nervosa and areas like Twin study which intersect with concerns in Cohort study, Child rearing and Developmental psychology.

Her Eating disorders study improves the overall literature in Clinical psychology. The various areas that Laura M. Thornton examines in her Clinical psychology study include Body mass index and Comorbidity. Her study with Genome-wide association study involves better knowledge in Single-nucleotide polymorphism.

Her most cited work include:

  • Genome-wide meta-analyses identify multiple loci associated with smoking behavior (913 citations)
  • Analysis of shared heritability in common disorders of the brain (726 citations)
  • Genomic Relationships, Novel Loci, and Pleiotropic Mechanisms across Eight Psychiatric Disorders (242 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Eating disorders, Psychiatry, Bulimia nervosa, Anorexia nervosa and Clinical psychology. Her studies in Eating disorders integrate themes in fields like Body mass index and Genetics. As a member of one scientific family, she mostly works in the field of Psychiatry, focusing on Twin study and, on occasion, Developmental psychology.

Her work carried out in the field of Bulimia nervosa brings together such families of science as Odds ratio, Mental health and Cohort. Laura M. Thornton integrates Anorexia nervosa and Genome-wide association study in her studies. Laura M. Thornton combines subjects such as SNP and Genetic association with her study of Genome-wide association study.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Eating disorders (54.14%)
  • Psychiatry (45.86%)
  • Bulimia nervosa (36.09%)

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

  • Eating disorders (54.14%)
  • Bulimia nervosa (36.09%)
  • Anorexia nervosa (35.34%)

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

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Eating disorders, Bulimia nervosa, Anorexia nervosa, Genome-wide association study and Psychiatry. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Etiology and Comorbidity. She interconnects Twin study, Mental health, Anorexia nervosa and Pediatrics in the investigation of issues within Bulimia nervosa.

The concepts of her Anorexia nervosa study are interwoven with issues in Body mass index, Odds ratio, Internal medicine, Disease and Cohort. Laura M. Thornton studies Schizophrenia which is a part of Psychiatry. In her study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Clinical psychology, Amenorrhea, Perfectionism and Obsessive compulsive is strongly linked to Personality.

Between 2018 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Genomic Relationships, Novel Loci, and Pleiotropic Mechanisms across Eight Psychiatric Disorders (242 citations)
  • Genome-wide association study identifies eight risk loci and implicates metabo-psychiatric origins for anorexia nervosa (208 citations)
  • Examination of the shared genetic basis of anorexia nervosa and obsessive-compulsive disorder. (34 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Psychiatry
  • Major depressive disorder

Her primary areas of investigation include Eating disorders, Anorexia nervosa, Bulimia nervosa, Psychiatry and Clinical psychology. Her study connects Comorbidity and Eating disorders. Her Anorexia nervosa study incorporates themes from Body mass index and Heritability.

Her Bulimia nervosa research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Not Otherwise Specified, Pediatrics, Cohort and Hazard ratio. Her study on Mental health, Anorexia nervosa and Anxiety is often connected to Telehealth as part of broader study in Psychiatry. Her studies deal with areas such as Odds ratio, Personality and Genetic epidemiology as well as Clinical psychology.
