Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

Gene
DNA
Virus

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Genetics, Aneuploidy, Gene mutation, Carcinogenesis and Karyotype. His research related to Mutation, Gene and Cancer might be considered part of Genetics. His Gene research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Molecular biology and Oncovirus.

In his research on the topic of Molecular biology, Tumor Virus and RNA is strongly related with Virus. His research in Aneuploidy intersects with topics in Cancer cell, Ploidy, Mitosis and Mutant. Peter H. Duesberg has researched Karyotype in several fields, including Trisomy and Germline mutation.

His most cited work include:

Genetic instability of cancer cells is proportional to their degree of aneuploidy (335 citations)
Tripartite structure of the avian erythroblastosis virus E26 transforming gene (306 citations)
Aneuploidy vs. gene mutation hypothesis of cancer: Recent study claims mutation but is found to support aneuploidy (231 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Genetics, Virology, Molecular biology, RNA and Virus. Genetics is represented through his Gene, Aneuploidy, Phenotype, Mutation and Chromosome research. His Aneuploidy study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Carcinogenesis, Cancer, Karyotype, Gene mutation and Chromosome instability.

The various areas that Peter H. Duesberg examines in his Virology study include Tumor Virus and Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. His Molecular biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Polymerase, Defective virus, DNA polymerase, Avian sarcoma virus and RNase P. His RNA research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Protein subunit and Oligonucleotide, DNA.

He most often published in these fields:

Genetics (46.05%)
Virology (40.93%)
Molecular biology (34.88%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2000-2018)?

Aneuploidy (25.58%)
Genetics (46.05%)
Karyotype (20.00%)

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

Peter H. Duesberg mainly investigates Aneuploidy, Genetics, Karyotype, Cancer and Phenotype. Peter H. Duesberg interconnects Carcinogenesis, Cancer cell and Chromosome instability in the investigation of issues within Aneuploidy. His work on Gene mutation, Ploidy, Gene and Mitosis as part of general Genetics research is frequently linked to Genome instability, bridging the gap between disciplines.

Peter H. Duesberg combines subjects such as Cancer research, Mutation, Trisomy, Clone and Cytogenetics with his study of Karyotype. His research ties Molecular biology and Chromosome together. His work on Flow cytometry as part of general Molecular biology study is frequently linked to Stabilizing selection, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science.

Between 2000 and 2018, his most popular works were:

Multistep carcinogenesis: a chain reaction of aneuploidizations. (162 citations)
The Chromosomal Basis of Cancer (145 citations)
Aneuploidy, the primary cause of the multilateral genomic instability of neoplastic and preneoplastic cells. (119 citations)
