Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Gene
  • Genetics

Nicholas J. Timpson spends much of his time researching Genetics, Genome-wide association study, Single-nucleotide polymorphism, Internal medicine and Body mass index. His research in Genome-wide association study intersects with topics in Quantitative trait locus, Genetic architecture, Disease, Genetic association and Type 2 diabetes. His study in Disease is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Population stratification, CDKN2BAS and Intensive care medicine.

His Single-nucleotide polymorphism research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Memoria, Effects of sleep deprivation on cognitive performance, Cognition and Multiple comparisons problem. As a member of one scientific family, Nicholas J. Timpson mostly works in the field of Internal medicine, focusing on Endocrinology and, on occasion, Cardiology and Tibia. His research integrates issues of Odds ratio, FTO gene, Obesity and SH2B1 in his study of Body mass index.

His most cited work include:

  • Genome-wide association study of 14,000 cases of seven common diseases and 3,000 shared controls (7922 citations)
  • A common variant in the FTO gene is associated with body mass index and predisposes to childhood and adult obesity (3415 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?

Nicholas J. Timpson mainly focuses on Genome-wide association study, Genetics, Internal medicine, Single-nucleotide polymorphism and Longitudinal study. Nicholas J. Timpson has included themes like Bioinformatics, Meta-analysis, Heritability, Imputation and Genetic architecture in his Genome-wide association study study. Genetic association, Allele, Genetic variation, Locus and Quantitative trait locus are the core of his Genetics study.

His work deals with themes such as Endocrinology and Mendelian randomization, which intersect with Internal medicine. Much of his study explores Single-nucleotide polymorphism relationship to Immunology. Nicholas J. Timpson works mostly in the field of Longitudinal study, limiting it down to concerns involving Offspring and, occasionally, Physiology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genome-wide association study (35.64%)
  • Genetics (37.47%)
  • Internal medicine (24.64%)

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

  • Genome-wide association study (35.64%)
  • Longitudinal study (17.92%)
  • Demography (13.65%)

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

Nicholas J. Timpson focuses on Genome-wide association study, Longitudinal study, Demography, Mendelian randomization and Internal medicine. He is conducting research in Genetics and Single-nucleotide polymorphism as part of his Genome-wide association study study. As a part of the same scientific family, Nicholas J. Timpson mostly works in the field of Genetics, focusing on Meta-analysis and, on occasion, Childhood obesity and Case-control study.

The various areas that he examines in his Longitudinal study study include Offspring, Mental health, Cohort study and Cohort. His Mendelian randomization study combines topics in areas such as Epidemiology, Bioinformatics, Diabetes mellitus, Disease and Causal inference. Nicholas J. Timpson interconnects Endocrinology and Oncology in the investigation of issues within Internal medicine.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Polygenic Prediction of Weight and Obesity Trajectories from Birth to Adulthood (202 citations)
  • Maternal and fetal genetic effects on birth weight and their relevance to cardio-metabolic risk factors (129 citations)
  • Apparent latent structure within the UK Biobank sample has implications for epidemiological analysis (118 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Gene
  • Genetics

His primary scientific interests are in Genome-wide association study, Demography, Longitudinal study, Genetics and Mendelian randomization. The concepts of his Genome-wide association study study are interwoven with issues in Evolutionary biology, Heritability, Biobank, Genetic association and Genetic variation. Nicholas J. Timpson has researched Demography in several fields, including Longitudinal growth, Obesity, Cohort study, Disease and Early childhood.

Nicholas J. Timpson works mostly in the field of Genetics, limiting it down to topics relating to Meta-analysis and, in certain cases, Genomics, as a part of the same area of interest. His Mendelian randomization study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Mendelian Randomization Analysis and Physical medicine and rehabilitation. His biological study deals with issues like Kidney, which deal with fields such as Blood pressure.
