Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • DNA

His primary areas of investigation include Biotechnology, Sterile insect technique, Aedes aegypti, Genetics and Dengue fever. As a member of one scientific family, Luke Alphey mostly works in the field of Biotechnology, focusing on Mosquito control and, on occasion, Sterility. The concepts of his Sterile insect technique study are interwoven with issues in Pest control, Insect, Lethality and Evolutionary biology.

As part of his studies on Aedes aegypti, he often connects relevant subjects like Aedes. Luke Alphey usually deals with Genetics and limits it to topics linked to Ceratitis capitata and Alternative splicing and Exon. His Virology study incorporates themes from Genetically modified organism and Mating.

His most cited work include:

  • Insect population control using a dominant, repressible, lethal genetic system. (450 citations)
  • Sterile-Insect Methods for Control of Mosquito-Borne Diseases: An Analysis (365 citations)
  • Late-acting dominant lethal genetic systems and mosquito control. (317 citations)

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

Luke Alphey spends much of his time researching Biotechnology, Genetics, Sterile insect technique, Aedes aegypti and Gene. His Biotechnology study frequently intersects with other fields, such as Pest control. In Sterile insect technique, he works on issues like Zoology, which are connected to Larva.

His research in Aedes aegypti intersects with topics in Genetically modified organism, Chikungunya, Aedes, Dengue fever and Mosquito control. His research integrates issues of Diamondback moth and Integrated pest management in his study of PEST analysis. His work deals with themes such as Phosphatase and Molecular biology, which intersect with Drosophila melanogaster.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Biotechnology (27.04%)
  • Genetics (25.51%)
  • Sterile insect technique (24.49%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Gene (19.39%)
  • Genetics (25.51%)
  • Gene drive (8.16%)

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

Gene, Genetics, Gene drive, CRISPR and Computational biology are his primary areas of study. Luke Alphey works mostly in the field of Gene, limiting it down to topics relating to Plutella and, in certain cases, Doublesex, Dosage compensation and Bombyx mori, as a part of the same area of interest. His research in Genetics focuses on subjects like PEST analysis, which are connected to Integrated pest management.

In his study, Invasive species, Ecology, Biodiversity and Biotechnology is strongly linked to Agroforestry, which falls under the umbrella field of Integrated pest management. His Biotechnology research integrates issues from Sterile insect technique, Insect and Genetic systems. His research investigates the link between Mutation and topics such as Regulation of gene expression that cross with problems in Drosophila melanogaster.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Is It Time for Synthetic Biodiversity Conservation (85 citations)
  • Is It Time for Synthetic Biodiversity Conservation (85 citations)
  • Towards the genetic control of invasive species (45 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genetics

Luke Alphey focuses on Gene drive, Computational biology, Underdominance, Gene and Biodiversity conservation. Aedes aegypti, Locus and Genetic systems is closely connected to Chikungunya in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Computational biology. His work on Wolbachia and CRISPR as part of general Gene study is frequently connected to Control methods, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.

In his research, Ecology and IUCN Red List is intimately related to Synthetic biology, which falls under the overarching field of Biodiversity conservation. With his scientific publications, his incorporates both Population Replacement and Biotechnology. The Biotechnology study combines topics in areas such as Agroforestry, Global biodiversity, Mating, Invasive species and PEST analysis.
