Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Internal medicine

Nelson B. Freimer mostly deals with Genetics, Genome-wide association study, Genetic association, Schizophrenia and Bipolar disorder. His Genetics study frequently draws connections between adjacent fields such as Body mass index. Genome-wide association study is a primary field of his research addressed under Single-nucleotide polymorphism.

The Genetic association study combines topics in areas such as Meta-analysis and Hemodynamics. His Schizophrenia study combines topics in areas such as Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative, Psychosis, Neuroscience and Bioinformatics. His work carried out in the field of Bipolar disorder brings together such families of science as Cardiology, Thalamus, Major depressive disorder, Genetic heterogeneity and Computational biology.

His most cited work include:

  • Biological insights from 108 schizophrenia-associated genetic loci (4834 citations)
  • Biological, clinical and population relevance of 95 loci for blood lipids (2804 citations)
  • Association analyses of 249,796 individuals reveal 18 new loci associated with body mass index (2348 citations)

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

His main research concerns Genetics, Genome-wide association study, Bipolar disorder, Genetic association and Psychiatry. His studies in Locus, Linkage disequilibrium, Genetic linkage, Single-nucleotide polymorphism and Allele are all subfields of Genetics research. The various areas that Nelson B. Freimer examines in his Single-nucleotide polymorphism study include Internal medicine and Genotyping.

His Genome-wide association study research includes themes of Quantitative trait locus, Genetic architecture, Tourette syndrome and Copy-number variation. His research in Bipolar disorder intersects with topics in Schizophrenia and Clinical psychology. His work carried out in the field of Schizophrenia brings together such families of science as Major depressive disorder and Psychosis.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (54.79%)
  • Genome-wide association study (30.96%)
  • Bipolar disorder (17.69%)

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

  • Genetics (54.79%)
  • Genome-wide association study (30.96%)
  • Gene (12.53%)

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

Nelson B. Freimer mainly focuses on Genetics, Genome-wide association study, Gene, Bipolar disorder and Hyperlipidemia. His study in Phenotype, Exome sequencing, Genetic association, Quantitative trait locus and Allele are all subfields of Genetics. His work in Genetic association addresses subjects such as Structural variation, which are connected to disciplines such as Genotype.

The various areas that Nelson B. Freimer examines in his Genome-wide association study study include Genome and Copy-number variation. His studies deal with areas such as Neuroscience, Cell adhesion molecule and Tourette syndrome as well as Gene. His Bipolar disorder research incorporates elements of Pedigree chart, Druggability, Expression quantitative trait loci, Prefrontal cortex and Neurocognitive.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Genome-wide association study identifies 30 loci associated with bipolar disorder (518 citations)
  • Interrogating the Genetic Determinants of Tourette's Syndrome and Other Tic Disorders Through Genome-Wide Association Studies. (65 citations)
  • Exome sequencing of Finnish isolates enhances rare-variant association power. (55 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Mutation

Nelson B. Freimer mainly investigates Genetics, Genome-wide association study, Gene, Bipolar disorder and Copy-number variation. As part of his studies on Genetics, Nelson B. Freimer often connects relevant areas like Disease. His Genome-wide association study study incorporates themes from Genotyping and Genome, Deep sequencing, Genomics.

In general Gene, his work in Expression quantitative trait loci, Druggability and Gene expression is often linked to Furin linking many areas of study. His work deals with themes such as Major depressive disorder, Genetic heterogeneity and Psychosis, which intersect with Bipolar disorder. His studies in Copy-number variation integrate themes in fields like Microarray, SNP genotyping and Pedigree chart.
