Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Cancer
  • Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome

Robert J. Biggar spends much of his time researching Immunology, Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, Incidence, Internal medicine and Risk factor. His research on Immunology frequently links to adjacent areas such as Cervix. His Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Relative risk, Epidemiology, Cohort study and Pediatrics.

His work carried out in the field of Incidence brings together such families of science as Surgery and Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, Burkitt's lymphoma, Lymphoma. Particularly relevant to Cancer is his body of work in Internal medicine. His Risk factor research includes elements of Breastfeeding, Chemotherapy regimen and Breast feeding.

His most cited work include:

  • Human Papillomavirus-Associated Cancers in Patients With Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection and Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (737 citations)
  • Association of cancer with AIDS-related immunosuppression in adults. (669 citations)
  • Spectrum of AIDS-associated malignant disorders (636 citations)

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

His main research concerns Immunology, Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, Virology, Internal medicine and Epidemiology. His research in Immunology tackles topics such as Relative risk which are related to areas like Anal cancer. His Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Seroconversion, Incidence, Immunopathology and Risk factor.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Gastroenterology, Surgery and Oncology in addition to Internal medicine. As part of the same scientific family, Robert J. Biggar usually focuses on Epidemiology, concentrating on Odds ratio and intersecting with Malaria. Robert J. Biggar interconnects Lung cancer and Sarcoma in the investigation of issues within Cancer.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Immunology (58.87%)
  • Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (41.49%)
  • Virology (27.66%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2002-2020)?

  • Immunology (58.87%)
  • Internal medicine (26.24%)
  • Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (41.49%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Immunology, Internal medicine, Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, Virology and Incidence. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Odds ratio, Relative risk and Epidemiology. His Internal medicine research includes themes of Gastroenterology and Surgery.

His studies deal with areas such as Prevalence, Cancer registry, Virus type and Human T-Lymphotropic Virus Type III as well as Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. His Virology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Gene, Genotype and Provirus. His Incidence research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Hepatitis B, Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, Pediatrics and Risk factor.

Between 2002 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Trends in cancer risk among people with AIDS in the United States 1980-2002. (620 citations)
  • Cancer risk in people infected with human immunodeficiency virus in the United States (604 citations)
  • AIDS-Related Cancer and Severity of Immunosuppression in Persons With AIDS (258 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Cancer
  • Virus

Robert J. Biggar mainly investigates Immunology, Internal medicine, Cancer, Virus and Virology. His Immunology research incorporates themes from Odds ratio and Relative risk. Risk factor and Incidence are among the areas of Internal medicine where he concentrates his study.

His study in Cancer is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Lung cancer and Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. His work on Herpesviridae as part of general Virus research is frequently linked to Transmission, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Cervical cancer study combines topics in areas such as Oncology and Lymphoma.
