1955 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Enzyme
  • Biochemistry

Robert A. Gibson mainly investigates Docosahexaenoic acid, Polyunsaturated fatty acid, Breast feeding, Pediatrics and Biochemistry. His work carried out in the field of Docosahexaenoic acid brings together such families of science as Eicosapentaenoic acid, Arachidonic acid, Breast milk and Linoleic acid. His Polyunsaturated fatty acid study improves the overall literature in Fatty acid.

Robert A. Gibson interconnects Endocrinology, Transferrin saturation, Internal medicine, Breastfeeding and Infant formula in the investigation of issues within Breast feeding. Robert A. Gibson combines subjects such as Pregnancy, Randomized controlled trial, Confidence interval and Food allergy, Allergy with his study of Pediatrics. His study looks at the relationship between Biochemistry and topics such as Food science, which overlap with Lipidology and Saturated fatty acid.

His most cited work include:

  • Dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids and inflammatory mediator production (916 citations)
  • The effect on human tumor necrosis factor alpha and interleukin 1 beta production of diets enriched in n-3 fatty acids from vegetable oil or fish oil. (751 citations)
  • Fatty acid composition of brain, retina, and erythrocytes in breast- and formula-fed infants. (702 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Docosahexaenoic acid, Polyunsaturated fatty acid, Internal medicine, Pediatrics and Biochemistry. His work focuses on many connections between Docosahexaenoic acid and other disciplines, such as Breast feeding, that overlap with his field of interest in Breastfeeding. His research in Polyunsaturated fatty acid focuses on subjects like Food science, which are connected to alpha-Linolenic acid and Fatty acid composition.

His study looks at the relationship between Internal medicine and fields such as Endocrinology, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. His study in Pediatrics is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Birth weight, Randomized controlled trial, Cohort and Clinical trial. In his research, Obstetrics is intimately related to Pregnancy, which falls under the overarching field of Randomized controlled trial.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Docosahexaenoic acid (34.69%)
  • Polyunsaturated fatty acid (32.20%)
  • Internal medicine (34.01%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2021)?

  • Polyunsaturated fatty acid (32.20%)
  • Docosahexaenoic acid (34.69%)
  • Pregnancy (20.41%)

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

Robert A. Gibson focuses on Polyunsaturated fatty acid, Docosahexaenoic acid, Pregnancy, Randomized controlled trial and Pediatrics. His Polyunsaturated fatty acid research incorporates elements of Whole blood, Internal medicine, Food science and Endocrinology. His studies in Food science integrate themes in fields like alpha-Linolenic acid and Fatty acid, Linoleic acid, Fatty acid composition.

His studies deal with areas such as Bronchopulmonary dysplasia, Eicosapentaenoic acid, Arachidonic acid, Placebo and Fish oil as well as Docosahexaenoic acid. The Pregnancy study which covers Physiology that intersects with Surgery. While the research belongs to areas of Randomized controlled trial, Robert A. Gibson spends his time largely on the problem of Gestation, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Breast milk and Confidence interval.

Between 2011 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Effect of n-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acid supplementation in pregnancy on infants’ allergies in first year of life: randomised controlled trial (189 citations)
  • Lipid Quality in Infant Nutrition: Current Knowledge and Future Opportunities. (131 citations)
  • Docosahexaenoic acid synthesis from alpha-linolenic acid is inhibited by diets high in polyunsaturated fatty acids. (117 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Enzyme
  • Biochemistry

His primary areas of study are Polyunsaturated fatty acid, Randomized controlled trial, Docosahexaenoic acid, Pediatrics and Pregnancy. His Polyunsaturated fatty acid research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Food science and Linoleic acid. His Randomized controlled trial research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Birth weight, Gestational age, Gestation, Premature birth and Physiology.

In Docosahexaenoic acid, he works on issues like Internal medicine, which are connected to Palmitic acid, Arachidonic acid and Gastroenterology. Robert A. Gibson works on Pediatrics which deals in particular with Breast feeding. The Pregnancy study combines topics in areas such as Fish oil, Immunology, Cord blood and Obstetrics.
