Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Mutation
  • Genetics

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Genetics, Mutation, Cancer research, Germline mutation and Gene. Massive parallel sequencing, Genetic testing, Copy-number variation, Exome and Exome sequencing are among the areas of Genetics where Tom Walsh concentrates his study. His work investigates the relationship between Mutation and topics such as Allele that intersect with problems in B cell.

His Cancer research research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Lymphedema and Germline. His research in Germline mutation intersects with topics in Cancer, Carcinoma, Pathology and Heritability of autism. His studies examine the connections between Gene and genetics, as well as such issues in Molecular biology, with regards to Mitochondrion.

His most cited work include:

  • Strong Association of De Novo Copy Number Mutations with Autism (2329 citations)
  • Rare Structural Variants Disrupt Multiple Genes in Neurodevelopmental Pathways in Schizophrenia (1517 citations)
  • Tamoxifen and breast cancer incidence among women with inherited mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2: National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project (NSABP-P1) Breast Cancer Prevention Trial. (633 citations)

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

Tom Walsh focuses on Genetics, Internal medicine, Neuroscience, Mutation and Artificial intelligence. His work is connected to Gene, Allele, Compound heterozygosity, Exome sequencing and Missense mutation, as a part of Genetics. The Internal medicine study combines topics in areas such as Endocrinology and Oncology.

His Oncology research includes themes of Cancer, Breast cancer, Gynecology and Germline mutation. His work carried out in the field of Germline mutation brings together such families of science as Ovarian carcinoma, Genetic testing and Germline. His study in the field of Reinforcement learning is also linked to topics like Apprenticeship learning.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (29.72%)
  • Internal medicine (19.28%)
  • Neuroscience (14.86%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Genetics (29.72%)
  • Gene (9.64%)
  • Internal medicine (19.28%)

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

Tom Walsh mainly focuses on Genetics, Gene, Internal medicine, Allele and Mutation. His research in Compound heterozygosity, Exon, Exon skipping, RNA splicing and Germline are components of Genetics. His work on Germline mutation and Genetic variation as part of general Gene research is frequently linked to Xhosa, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science.

His Internal medicine study combines topics in areas such as Juvenile polyposis syndrome and Oncology. His research integrates issues of Histone H2A, Newborn screening, Genotype, Genetic counseling and Genetic heterogeneity in his study of Allele. The various areas that he examines in his Mutation study include MSH2 and Lynch syndrome.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Inherited predisposition to malignant mesothelioma and overall survival following platinum chemotherapy (44 citations)
  • Essential Role of BRCA2 in Ovarian Development and Function. (40 citations)
  • Inherited Breast Cancer in Nigerian Women (32 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Mutation
  • Internal medicine

Tom Walsh mainly investigates Genetics, Allele, Gene, DNA repair and Mutation. In his research, he undertakes multidisciplinary study on Genetics and UDP-glucose 4-epimerase. His Allele research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Exon skipping, OTOF, Sanger sequencing and Genetic heterogeneity, MYO15A.

His work on Genetic variation and Human genome as part of general Gene study is frequently connected to Xhosa, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them. In DNA repair, Tom Walsh works on issues like Compound heterozygosity, which are connected to RAD51, Microcephaly, Gonadal dysgenesis, BRCA2 Protein and Missense mutation. Tom Walsh has researched Mutation in several fields, including MSH2, DNA mismatch repair, Microsatellite instability and Loss of heterozygosity.
