Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Mutation
  • Internal medicine

Richard P. Lifton focuses on Genetics, Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Mutation and Gene. His Genetics study frequently links to related topics such as Disease. His work on Bartter's syndrome, Bartter syndrome and Hyperaldosteronism as part of general Internal medicine research is frequently linked to CLCNKB and Gitelman syndrome, bridging the gap between disciplines.

Richard P. Lifton works mostly in the field of Endocrinology, limiting it down to topics relating to Missense mutation and, in certain cases, Wnt signaling pathway. His Mutation study combines topics in areas such as Mutant and Epithelial sodium channel. His research investigates the connection between Gene and topics such as Molecular biology that intersect with issues in T cell, Protein subunit, Glucocorticoid remediable aldosteronism, Aldosterone synthase and Ectopic expression.

His most cited work include:

  • Molecular basis of human hypertension: Role of angiotensinogen (1680 citations)
  • Molecular basis of human hypertension: Role of angiotensinogen (1680 citations)
  • De novo mutations revealed by whole-exome sequencing are strongly associated with autism (1516 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Genetics, Internal medicine, Exome sequencing, Mutation and Endocrinology. His Genetics study is mostly concerned with Gene, Allele, Locus, Genetic linkage and Genome-wide association study. His work deals with themes such as Disease and Bioinformatics, which intersect with Gene.

His study ties his expertise on Oncology together with the subject of Internal medicine. His Exome sequencing research includes themes of Cancer research, Proband and Germline mutation. The various areas that Richard P. Lifton examines in his Mutation study include Phenotype and Molecular biology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (46.54%)
  • Internal medicine (31.92%)
  • Exome sequencing (32.31%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Exome sequencing (32.31%)
  • Genetics (46.54%)
  • Mutation (30.58%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Exome sequencing, Genetics, Mutation, Gene and Internal medicine. His Exome sequencing research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Cancer research, Germline mutation and Kidney disease. As a part of the same scientific study, Richard P. Lifton usually deals with the Genetics, concentrating on Disease and frequently concerns with Phenocopy.

He interconnects Phenotype, Nephrotic syndrome, Gene knockdown and Genotype in the investigation of issues within Mutation. His Gene study deals with Bioinformatics intersecting with Genetic heterogeneity. His studies in Internal medicine integrate themes in fields like Endocrinology and Oncology.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Contribution of rare inherited and de novo variants in 2,871 congenital heart disease probands (298 citations)
  • Contribution of rare inherited and de novo variants in 2,871 congenital heart disease probands (298 citations)
  • Impaired HLA Class I Antigen Processing and Presentation as a Mechanism of Acquired Resistance to Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors in Lung Cancer (220 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Mutation
  • Internal medicine

His scientific interests lie mostly in Exome sequencing, Genetics, Mutation, Cancer research and Gene. He combines subjects such as Germline mutation, Internal medicine, Kidney disease and Phenocopy with his study of Exome sequencing. In his research, Candidate gene is intimately related to Pediatrics, which falls under the overarching field of Internal medicine.

His studies deal with areas such as Endocrinology, Gene knockdown, Phenotype, Nuclear pore and Zebrafish as well as Mutation. His work deals with themes such as PTEN, Pathogenesis, Nephrotic syndrome, Carcinoma and Adjuvant therapy, which intersect with Cancer research. The concepts of his Gene study are interwoven with issues in Computational biology, Bioinformatics and Macaque.
