Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Psychiatry
  • Gene

Victor Hesselbrock mainly investigates Alcohol dependence, Psychiatry, Genetics, Clinical psychology and Single-nucleotide polymorphism. His Alcohol dependence research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Conduct disorder, Allele, GABRG1, GABRA2 and Candidate gene. The concepts of his Psychiatry study are interwoven with issues in Injury prevention, Antisocial personality disorder and Suicide prevention.

Victor Hesselbrock has included themes like Anxiety disorder, Anxiety and Severity of illness in his Clinical psychology study. His Single-nucleotide polymorphism research focuses on Haplotype and how it relates to Genetic variation, Internal medicine and Endocrinology. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Family aggregation and Psychometrics.

His most cited work include:

  • A new, semi-structured psychiatric interview for use in genetic linkage studies: a report on the reliability of the SSAGA. (1465 citations)
  • Types of alcoholics, I. Evidence for an empirically derived typology based on indicators of vulnerability and severity. (757 citations)
  • Genome‐wide search for genes affecting the risk for alcohol dependence (652 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Alcohol dependence, Psychiatry, Clinical psychology, Genetics and Genome-wide association study. His studies deal with areas such as Conduct disorder, Age of onset, Substance dependence and Comorbidity as well as Alcohol dependence. His Psychiatry research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Injury prevention, Suicide prevention and Family history.

His study on Clinical psychology also encompasses disciplines like

  • Antisocial personality disorder together with Electroencephalography,
  • Developmental psychology, which have a strong connection to Offspring. His Genome-wide association study research includes themes of Addiction, Cannabis and Heritability. His Single-nucleotide polymorphism research incorporates themes from Polymorphism, Haplotype and Candidate gene.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Alcohol dependence (41.90%)
  • Psychiatry (39.33%)
  • Clinical psychology (29.05%)

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

  • Genome-wide association study (15.17%)
  • Alcohol dependence (41.90%)
  • Genetics (27.51%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Genome-wide association study, Alcohol dependence, Genetics, Alcohol use disorder and Clinical psychology. The various areas that Victor Hesselbrock examines in his Genome-wide association study study include Polygenic risk score, Genetic correlation, Genetic association and Cannabis. Victor Hesselbrock combines subjects such as Heritability, Longitudinal study, Psychiatry and Expression quantitative trait loci with his study of Alcohol dependence.

His work on Psychiatry is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as Alcohol. His Genetics research incorporates elements of Alcohol and drug and Substance use. His work carried out in the field of Clinical psychology brings together such families of science as Young adult and Neurocognitive, Cognition.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Transancestral GWAS of alcohol dependence reveals common genetic underpinnings with psychiatric disorders (209 citations)
  • Analysis of whole genome-transcriptomic organization in brain to identify genes associated with alcoholism (28 citations)
  • Genome-wide association study identifies a novel locus for cannabis dependence. (21 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Psychiatry
  • Gene

His main research concerns Genome-wide association study, Alcohol dependence, Genetics, Single-nucleotide polymorphism and Cannabis. In his study, Association, Corpus callosum, Endophenotype, Polygenic risk score and Chromosome 15 is strongly linked to Genetic association, which falls under the umbrella field of Genome-wide association study. Alcohol dependence and ADH1B are two areas of study in which Victor Hesselbrock engages in interdisciplinary work.

The Polymorphism research Victor Hesselbrock does as part of his general Genetics study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Baseline, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. His Single-nucleotide polymorphism study incorporates themes from Genetic marker, Substance dependence, Neurogenetics and Electroencephalography. His Cannabis study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Developmental psychology, Parental separation, Allele and Cohort.
