Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Internal medicine
  • Genetics

His scientific interests lie mostly in Genome-wide association study, Genetics, Single-nucleotide polymorphism, ANK3 and Linkage disequilibrium. His studies in Genome-wide association study integrate themes in fields like Genomics, Schizophrenia, Immunology and Candidate gene. His Schizophrenia study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Multifactorial Inheritance, Epigenetics of schizophrenia, Clinical psychology and Zinc finger protein 804A.

Manuel A.R. Ferreira integrates Genetics with Context in his study. His Single-nucleotide polymorphism research incorporates elements of Genotyping and Haplotype. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Biological pathway and Psychosis.

His most cited work include:

  • PLINK: A Tool Set for Whole-Genome Association and Population-Based Linkage Analyses (18952 citations)
  • Common polygenic variation contributes to risk of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder (3630 citations)
  • Common polygenic variation contributes to risk of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder (3630 citations)

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

Manuel A.R. Ferreira mainly investigates Genetics, Genome-wide association study, Immunology, Asthma and Single-nucleotide polymorphism. His Genetics research focuses on Genetic association, Linkage disequilibrium, Gene, Locus and Quantitative trait locus. Manuel A.R. Ferreira interconnects Meta-analysis and Human genetics in the investigation of issues within Genetic association.

The Genome-wide association study study combines topics in areas such as Expression quantitative trait loci, Human leukocyte antigen, Hay fever, Disease and Allele. The study incorporates disciplines such as Odds ratio, Genetic predisposition and Copy-number variation in addition to Single-nucleotide polymorphism. As a part of the same scientific study, Manuel A.R. Ferreira usually deals with the Schizophrenia, concentrating on Clinical psychology and frequently concerns with Linkage.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (50.90%)
  • Genome-wide association study (50.90%)
  • Immunology (34.73%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Genome-wide association study (50.90%)
  • Immunology (34.73%)
  • Asthma (25.75%)

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

Manuel A.R. Ferreira mainly focuses on Genome-wide association study, Immunology, Asthma, Genetics and Human leukocyte antigen. Genome-wide association study is a primary field of his research addressed under Single-nucleotide polymorphism. His study in Single-nucleotide polymorphism is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Interleukin 6 and Atopy.

Manuel A.R. Ferreira focuses mostly in the field of Immunology, narrowing it down to matters related to Genetic association and, in some cases, Sample and Regression analysis. His Asthma study combines topics in areas such as Prevention Study and Pediatrics. He works on Genetics which deals in particular with Heritability.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Multiancestry association study identifies new asthma risk loci that colocalize with immune-cell enhancer marks (203 citations)
  • Genetic Architectures of Childhood- and Adult-Onset Asthma Are Partly Distinct (50 citations)
  • Genome-wide association and HLA fine-mapping studies identify risk loci and genetic pathways underlying allergic rhinitis (41 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Internal medicine
  • Cancer

His main research concerns Genome-wide association study, Hay fever, Immunology, Allergy and Expression quantitative trait loci. His work is dedicated to discovering how Hay fever, Single-nucleotide polymorphism are connected with Atopy, Odds ratio, Genetic architecture and Nonallergic rhinitis and other disciplines. His work investigates the relationship between Immunology and topics such as Genetic association that intersect with problems in Sample, Regression analysis and Regression.

His Allergy research focuses on subjects like Human leukocyte antigen, which are linked to Polymorphism, Peanut allergy, Allergic sensitization and Risk factor. His Expression quantitative trait loci study is related to the wider topic of Genetics. Manuel A.R. Ferreira regularly ties together related areas like Obesity in his Genetics studies.
