Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Bacteria
  • Enzyme
  • Gene

Her primary areas of investigation include Microbiology, Butyrate-Producing Bacteria, Butyrate, Biochemistry and Bacteria. Her work carried out in the field of Microbiology brings together such families of science as Microbiome, Gut flora, Bacteroides and Resistant starch. Her Butyrate-Producing Bacteria research incorporates elements of Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, Human feces, Anaerobic bacteria and Roseburia.

Gut metabolism, Gut bacteria and Human gut is closely connected to Propionate in her research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Butyrate. Her work in the fields of Butyrate kinase activity overlaps with other areas such as Butyrate kinase. Sylvia H. Duncan integrates Bacteria and Energy source in her research.

Her most cited work include:

  • Dominant and diet-responsive groups of bacteria within the human colonic microbiota. (1031 citations)
  • The role of the gut microbiota in nutrition and health (1010 citations)
  • Microbial degradation of complex carbohydrates in the gut (889 citations)

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

Microbiology, Biochemistry, Bacteria, Gut flora and Butyrate are her primary areas of study. Her Microbiology research incorporates themes from Bacteroides, Roseburia and Butyrate-Producing Bacteria. Her work deals with themes such as Human feces and Microbial metabolism, which intersect with Biochemistry.

Her Anaerobic bacteria, Butyrivibrio and 16S ribosomal RNA study, which is part of a larger body of work in Bacteria, is frequently linked to Energy source, bridging the gap between disciplines. The concepts of her Gut flora study are interwoven with issues in Food science, Obesity, Lachnospiraceae and Resistant starch. Her research integrates issues of Eubacterium and Propionate in her study of Butyrate.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Microbiology (48.82%)
  • Biochemistry (32.35%)
  • Bacteria (31.76%)

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

  • Microbiology (48.82%)
  • Bacteria (31.76%)
  • Gut flora (23.53%)

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

Sylvia H. Duncan focuses on Microbiology, Bacteria, Gut flora, Food science and Faecalibacterium prausnitzii. Her studies deal with areas such as Inflammation, Immune system, Immunology, Microbial ecology and Disease as well as Microbiology. Her studies in Bacteria integrate themes in fields like Dehydrogenase, Biochemistry, Gene and Butyrate.

Her research in Gut flora intersects with topics in Resistant starch, Functional food, Micronutrient and Microbial metabolism. Her Food science study incorporates themes from Microbial biodegradation and Food spoilage. Her Faecalibacterium prausnitzii research focuses on subjects like Irritable bowel syndrome, which are linked to Colorectal cancer and Intestinal mucosa.

Between 2015 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Modulation of the human gut microbiota by dietary fibres occurs at the species level. (180 citations)
  • Prebiotic potential of pectin and pectic oligosaccharides to promote anti-inflammatory commensal bacteria in the human colon. (144 citations)
  • Faecalibacterium prausnitzii : from microbiology to diagnostics and prognostics (136 citations)

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

  • Bacteria
  • Enzyme
  • Gene

Her primary areas of study are Microbiology, Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, Biochemistry, Firmicutes and Gut flora. Her Microbiology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Immunology, Microbial ecology, Environmental biotechnology, Disease and Biomarker. Her Faecalibacterium prausnitzii study which covers Internal medicine that intersects with Akkermansia muciniphila.

Biochemistry and Bacteria are frequently intertwined in her study. Her Firmicutes study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Butyrate and Bacteroides. Sylvia H. Duncan combines subjects such as Food science and Microbial metabolism with her study of Gut flora.
