Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Internal medicine

His primary areas of study are Genetics, Genome-wide association study, Immunology, Inflammatory bowel disease and Ulcerative colitis. His biological study deals with issues like IRGM, which deal with fields such as Interleukin-23 receptor. His study in Genome-wide association study is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Odds ratio, Genotyping, Case-control study and Locus.

His Locus research focuses on Candidate gene and how it connects with Genetic linkage, Genome, Human genome and Expression quantitative trait loci. His studies deal with areas such as Allele and NOD2 as well as Inflammatory bowel disease. His Ulcerative colitis research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Crohn's disease and Diarrhea.

His most cited work include:

  • A frameshift mutation in NOD2 associated with susceptibility to Crohn's disease (4248 citations)
  • Host-microbe interactions have shaped the genetic architecture of inflammatory bowel disease (3117 citations)
  • A Genome-Wide Association Study Identifies IL23R as an Inflammatory Bowel Disease Gene (2526 citations)

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

His main research concerns Genetics, Inflammatory bowel disease, Ulcerative colitis, Immunology and Crohn's disease. All of his Genetics and Genome-wide association study, Locus, Genetic association, Single-nucleotide polymorphism and Linkage disequilibrium investigations are sub-components of the entire Genetics study. Disease covers Richard H. Duerr research in Inflammatory bowel disease.

His Ulcerative colitis study combines topics in areas such as Odds ratio, Colitis, Primary sclerosing cholangitis, Genetic heterogeneity and Cohort. His Immunology research incorporates elements of Family aggregation, Genetic predisposition and NOD2. His studies examine the connections between Crohn's disease and genetics, as well as such issues in Gastroenterology, with regards to Ileal resection.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (47.68%)
  • Inflammatory bowel disease (38.41%)
  • Ulcerative colitis (39.07%)

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

  • Internal medicine (16.56%)
  • Gastroenterology (12.58%)
  • Crohn's disease (28.48%)

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

Richard H. Duerr mainly investigates Internal medicine, Gastroenterology, Crohn's disease, Ileal resection and Exome sequencing. He has researched Crohn's disease in several fields, including Post operative and Period. The Ileal resection study which covers Perioperative that intersects with Gene expression.

His work deals with themes such as Genome-wide association study, Immunology and Rare disease, which intersect with Exome sequencing. His Genome-wide association study study is concerned with the field of Genetics as a whole. His research on Rare disease also deals with topics like

  • Gene which intersects with area such as Inflammatory bowel disease,
  • Missing heritability problem that connect with fields like Disease.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Functional variants in the LRRK2 gene confer shared effects on risk for Crohn's disease and Parkinson's disease. (132 citations)
  • Insights into the genetic epidemiology of Crohn's and rare diseases in the Ashkenazi Jewish population (43 citations)
  • NOX1 loss-of-function genetic variants in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (34 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Internal medicine
  • Genetics

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Allele frequency, Genome-wide association study, Exome sequencing, Mixture model and Genetic variation. His Allele frequency study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Ashkenazi jews, Kinase activity, Immunology and LRRK2. His Genome-wide association study study frequently intersects with other fields, such as Haplotype.

His Mixture model research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Transcriptome, Computational biology, Cluster analysis and Genomics. His Genetic variation study necessitates a more in-depth grasp of Genetics.
