Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome
  • Disease

Robin Wood mainly investigates Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, Internal medicine, Immunology, Tuberculosis and Sida. His Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome research incorporates elements of Cohort study, Mortality rate, Demography, Viral load and Risk factor. His Mortality rate study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Pediatrics, Gerontology and Public health.

His Internal medicine research includes elements of Meningitis, Surgery and Gastroenterology. His Immunology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Pharmacotherapy, Immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome, Epidemiology and Intensive care medicine. Robin Wood focuses mostly in the field of Tuberculosis, narrowing it down to matters related to Incidence and, in some cases, Opportunistic infection.

His most cited work include:

  • Circulating microRNAs in sera correlate with soluble biomarkers of immune activation but do not predict mortality in ART treated individuals with HIV-1 infection : a case control study (2421 citations)
  • Initiation of antiretroviral therapy in early asymptomatic HIV infection (1575 citations)
  • Mortality of HIV-1-infected patients in the first year of antiretroviral therapy: comparison between low-income and high-income countries. (986 citations)

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

Robin Wood mostly deals with Tuberculosis, Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, Immunology, Internal medicine and Antiretroviral therapy. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Incidence, Pediatrics and Disease. His research integrates issues of Developing country, Demography, Cohort study and Cohort in his study of Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.

Robin Wood has researched Immunology in several fields, including Pharmacotherapy, Epidemiology, Risk factor and Intensive care medicine. The various areas that Robin Wood examines in his Internal medicine study include Gastroenterology, Surgery and Viral load. Robin Wood combines subjects such as Regimen, Reverse-transcriptase inhibitor and Hazard ratio with his study of Viral load.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Tuberculosis (40.16%)
  • Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (31.41%)
  • Immunology (31.41%)

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

  • Tuberculosis (40.16%)
  • Internal medicine (28.23%)
  • Mycobacterium tuberculosis (9.74%)

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

Tuberculosis, Internal medicine, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Demography and Viral load are his primary areas of study. His Tuberculosis research includes themes of Incidence, Pediatrics, Disease and Environmental health. Robin Wood studied Incidence and Cohort study that intersect with Epidemiology.

His Internal medicine research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Zidovudine and Antiretroviral therapy. His Viral load study is related to the wider topic of Immunology. His research in Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome tackles topics such as Confidence interval which are related to areas like Cart.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Serial QuantiFERON testing and tuberculosis disease risk among young children: an observational cohort study (74 citations)
  • Cryptococcal Antigen Screening in Patients Initiating ART in South Africa: A Prospective Cohort Study (68 citations)
  • Drivers of Tuberculosis Transmission. (56 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome
  • Disease

Robin Wood mainly focuses on Tuberculosis, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Internal medicine, Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and Young adult. The concepts of his Tuberculosis study are interwoven with issues in Anemia and Hepcidin. His research in Mycobacterium tuberculosis intersects with topics in Transmission, Sputum and Disease, Cause of death.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Resistance, Pharmacology and Antiretroviral therapy in addition to Internal medicine. Robin Wood has included themes like Epidemiology, Cohort study, Hazard ratio, Pediatrics and Triage in his Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome study. His Young adult study incorporates themes from Dolutegravir, Demography and Incidence.
