Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Enzyme
  • Gene

Ting-Kai Li mostly deals with Ethanol, Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Alcohol and Alcohol dehydrogenase. Biochemistry covers Ting-Kai Li research in Ethanol. In his research, Taste is intimately related to Blood ethanol, which falls under the overarching field of Internal medicine.

Ting-Kai Li has included themes like Analysis of variance, Neuropeptide Y receptor and Serotonin in his Endocrinology study. His research investigates the connection between Alcohol and topics such as Selective breeding that intersect with problems in Alcohol abuse. His Alcohol dehydrogenase research includes elements of Genetics, Isozyme, ALDH2, Aldehyde dehydrogenase and Ethanol metabolism.

His most cited work include:

  • Genome‐wide search for genes affecting the risk for alcohol dependence (652 citations)
  • Alcohol and aldehyde dehydrogenase genotypes and alcoholism in Chinese men. (559 citations)
  • Variations in GABRA2, Encoding the α2 Subunit of the GABAA Receptor, Are Associated with Alcohol Dependence and with Brain Oscillations (555 citations)

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

Ting-Kai Li mainly investigates Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Ethanol, Alcohol and Biochemistry. His research links Serotonin with Endocrinology. His study explores the link between Ethanol and topics such as Alcohol preferring that cross with problems in Ethanol intake.

He combines subjects such as Oral administration, Self-administration, Surgery and Animal science with his study of Alcohol. His Biochemistry research includes themes of Molecular biology and Stereochemistry. His Alcohol dehydrogenase study also includes fields such as

  • Genetics together with Alcohol dependence,
  • Aldehyde dehydrogenase which connect with Genotype.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Internal medicine (50.09%)
  • Endocrinology (48.77%)
  • Ethanol (44.78%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2003-2017)?

  • Internal medicine (50.09%)
  • Alcohol (33.40%)
  • Endocrinology (48.77%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Internal medicine, Alcohol, Endocrinology, Ethanol and Psychiatry. His Internal medicine research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Elevated plus maze, Biochemistry and In situ hybridization. His Alcohol research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Selective breeding, Physiology and Nicotine.

He has researched Endocrinology in several fields, including Self-administration, Neuropeptide Y receptor and Serotonin. His study in Ethanol is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Alcohol preferring, Anesthesia, Central nervous system and High alcohol. His research investigates the connection with Psychiatry and areas like Alcohol dependence which intersect with concerns in Environmental health, Genetics, Disease, Alcohol use disorder and Genetic linkage.

Between 2003 and 2017, his most popular works were:

  • Variations in GABRA2, Encoding the α2 Subunit of the GABAA Receptor, Are Associated with Alcohol Dependence and with Brain Oscillations (555 citations)
  • Drug addiction: the neurobiology of behaviour gone awry. (473 citations)
  • The Alcohol Flushing Response: An Unrecognized Risk Factor for Esophageal Cancer from Alcohol Consumption (282 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Enzyme
  • Gene

His primary areas of study are Internal medicine, Alcohol dependence, Psychiatry, Genetics and Alcohol. His Internal medicine research includes elements of Ethanol, Alcohol dehydrogenase and Endocrinology. His Ethanol research is mostly focused on the topic Acetaldehyde.

His work deals with themes such as Agonist, Anesthesia, Offspring and Serotonin, which intersect with Endocrinology. As part of one scientific family, Ting-Kai Li deals mainly with the area of Alcohol dependence, narrowing it down to issues related to the Risk factor, and often Environmental health, Social psychology, Psychiatric status rating scales, Flushing and ALDH2. His study on High alcohol is often connected to Perspective as part of broader study in Alcohol.
