Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Disease
  • Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome

His primary areas of investigation include Tuberculosis, Global health, Environmental health, Demography and Life expectancy. The Tuberculosis study combines topics in areas such as Internal medicine, Surgery, Immunology and Intensive care medicine. His Global health research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Cause of death, Millennium Development Goals, Pediatrics and Infant mortality.

His research integrates issues of Disease, Epidemiological transition, Malnutrition, Population health and Risk factor in his study of Environmental health. His study on Mortality rate is often connected to Total fertility rate as part of broader study in Demography. His work deals with themes such as Child mortality and Gerontology, which intersect with Life expectancy.

His most cited work include:

  • Global, regional, and national age-sex specific all-cause and cause-specific mortality for 240 causes of death, 1990-2013: A systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2013 (4387 citations)
  • Global, regional, and national life expectancy, all-cause mortality, and cause-specific mortality for 249 causes of death, 1980–2015: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2015 (3027 citations)
  • Global, regional, and national incidence, prevalence, and years lived with disability for 310 diseases and injuries, 1990–2015: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2015 (2980 citations)

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

His main research concerns Tuberculosis, Internal medicine, Immunology, Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Pediatrics. Soumya Swaminathan interconnects Surgery and Intensive care medicine in the investigation of issues within Tuberculosis. His Immunology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome, Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and Virology.

His Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome research focuses on subjects like Public health, which are linked to Demography. Soumya Swaminathan has included themes like Global health, Epidemiology and Disease in his Pediatrics study. His Disease research incorporates themes from Transmission and Environmental health.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Tuberculosis (48.98%)
  • Internal medicine (25.28%)
  • Immunology (21.44%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Tuberculosis (48.98%)
  • Internal medicine (25.28%)
  • Coronavirus disease 2019 (1.81%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Tuberculosis, Internal medicine, Coronavirus disease 2019, Psychological intervention and Mycobacterium tuberculosis. His Tuberculosis study combines topics in areas such as Immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome, Disease and Drug resistance. His work in Disease covers topics such as Multiplex which are related to areas like Cohort and Immune system.

His Coronavirus disease 2019 study which covers 2019-20 coronavirus outbreak that intersects with Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. The study incorporates disciplines such as Medical research, Pharmacovigilance and Family medicine in addition to Psychological intervention. His Mycobacterium tuberculosis research includes elements of Genetics and Single-nucleotide polymorphism.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Repurposed Antiviral Drugs for Covid-19 - Interim WHO Solidarity Trial Results. (408 citations)
  • Repurposed antiviral drugs for COVID-19: interim WHO solidarity trial results (Preprint) (121 citations)
  • Building a tuberculosis-free world: The Lancet Commission on tuberculosis (118 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Disease
  • Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome

His primary areas of study are Tuberculosis, Internal medicine, Coronavirus disease 2019, Demography and 2019-20 coronavirus outbreak. The concepts of his Tuberculosis study are interwoven with issues in Private sector, Implementation research and Health policy. The Tolerability, Regimen and Pulmonology research he does as part of his general Internal medicine study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Interferon beta-1a, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.

His studies in Coronavirus disease 2019 integrate themes in fields like Population health and Virology. His work on Mortality rate as part of general Demography study is frequently connected to Inequality and Total fertility rate, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them. The various areas that Soumya Swaminathan examines in his Mortality rate study include Psychological intervention and Verbal autopsy, Cause of death.
