Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Psychiatry
  • Major depressive disorder

Rachel Yehuda mostly deals with Anxiety disorder, Psychiatry, Hydrocortisone, Internal medicine and Glucocorticoid. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Developmental psychology, Posttraumatic stress, Paroxetine and Comorbidity. Her work carried out in the field of Psychiatry brings together such families of science as Offspring, Clinical psychology and Risk factor.

Her work on Cortisol secretion as part of her general Hydrocortisone study is frequently connected to Holocaust survivors, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. Her research investigates the connection between Internal medicine and topics such as Endocrinology that intersect with problems in Receptor. Her Glucocorticoid study incorporates themes from Severity of illness and Saliva, Salivary cortisol.

Her most cited work include:

  • Resilience definitions, theory, and challenges: interdisciplinary perspectives (693 citations)
  • Biology of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (592 citations)
  • Cortisol regulation in posttraumatic stress disorder and major depression: a chronobiological analysis. (555 citations)

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

Rachel Yehuda mainly investigates Psychiatry, Clinical psychology, Internal medicine, Endocrinology and Posttraumatic stress. Her work on Anxiety disorder, Depression and Anxiety is typically connected to Injury prevention and Suicide prevention as part of general Psychiatry study, connecting several disciplines of science. Her Clinical psychology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Cognition and Psychological resilience.

Her Hydrocortisone, Glucocorticoid, Glucocorticoid receptor and Dexamethasone suppression test investigations are all subjects of Internal medicine research. Her work focuses on many connections between Glucocorticoid receptor and other disciplines, such as Epigenetics, that overlap with her field of interest in Methylation. Her Posttraumatic stress research includes elements of Psychotherapist and Cortisol level.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Psychiatry (43.64%)
  • Clinical psychology (42.48%)
  • Internal medicine (39.50%)

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

  • Internal medicine (39.50%)
  • Clinical psychology (42.48%)
  • Traumatic stress (14.38%)

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

Rachel Yehuda spends much of her time researching Internal medicine, Clinical psychology, Traumatic stress, Glucocorticoid and Gene expression. Her study on Hydrocortisone is often connected to Injury prevention as part of broader study in Internal medicine. In the subject of general Clinical psychology, her work in Stressor is often linked to Suicide attempt, thereby combining diverse domains of study.

She interconnects Extracellular vesicles, Neuroimaging, Cohort and Amygdala in the investigation of issues within Traumatic stress. Her studies in Glucocorticoid integrate themes in fields like Biomarker, Immune system and Bioinformatics. Her Endocrinology research is mostly focused on the topic Glucocorticoid receptor.

Between 2018 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • International meta-analysis of PTSD genome-wide association studies identifies sex- and ancestry-specific genetic risk loci (125 citations)
  • International meta-analysis of PTSD genome-wide association studies identifies sex- and ancestry-specific genetic risk loci (125 citations)
  • Multi-omic biomarker identification and validation for diagnosing warzone-related post-traumatic stress disorder (36 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Psychiatry
  • Gene

Rachel Yehuda focuses on Internal medicine, Traumatic stress, Genome-wide association study, Glucocorticoid receptor and Glucocorticoid. Her Internal medicine research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Diabetes mellitus and Oncology. Her Genome-wide association study study combines topics in areas such as SNP, Genetic correlation, Gene knockdown and Clinical psychology.

Her Glucocorticoid receptor research is included under the broader classification of Endocrinology. As part of one scientific family, Rachel Yehuda deals mainly with the area of Endocrinology, narrowing it down to issues related to the Posttraumatic stress, and often Psychotherapist. Her studies deal with areas such as Biomarker and Immune system as well as Glucocorticoid.
