Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Gene
  • Mutation

Genetics, Muscular dystrophy, Internal medicine, Duchenne muscular dystrophy and Dystrophin are his primary areas of study. His study looks at the intersection of Genetics and topics like Congenital myopathy with RYR1 and Myopathy. Volker Straub has researched Muscular dystrophy in several fields, including Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy, Molecular biology and Gene, Exon.

His Internal medicine research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Gastroenterology, Endocrinology and Surgery. In his research on the topic of Duchenne muscular dystrophy, Drisapersen is strongly related with Eteplirsen. His Dystrophin study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as ITGA7 and Cell biology.

His most cited work include:

  • Nusinersen versus Sham Control in Infantile-Onset Spinal Muscular Atrophy (719 citations)
  • Post-translational disruption of dystroglycan-ligand interactions in congenital muscular dystrophies (693 citations)
  • Exon skipping and dystrophin restoration in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy after systemic phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomer treatment: an open-label, phase 2, dose-escalation study. (690 citations)

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

His main research concerns Muscular dystrophy, Internal medicine, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, Pathology and Genetics. While the research belongs to areas of Muscular dystrophy, Volker Straub spends his time largely on the problem of Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Anatomy. His Internal medicine study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Gastroenterology, Endocrinology and Cardiology.

His Duchenne muscular dystrophy research focuses on subjects like Clinical trial, which are linked to Disease. His study in Pathology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Exome sequencing and Weakness. His Dystrophin research includes elements of Exon skipping and Morpholino.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Muscular dystrophy (23.03%)
  • Internal medicine (21.95%)
  • Duchenne muscular dystrophy (21.79%)

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

  • Internal medicine (21.95%)
  • Duchenne muscular dystrophy (21.79%)
  • Muscular dystrophy (23.03%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Internal medicine, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, Muscular dystrophy, Pathology and Myopathy. His studies in Internal medicine integrate themes in fields like Gastroenterology and Endocrinology. His studies deal with areas such as Clinical trial and Oncology as well as Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

His study on Muscular dystrophy also encompasses disciplines like

  • Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy and related Anatomy,
  • Exome sequencing and related Bioinformatics and Genetic heterogeneity. His Pathology research incorporates themes from Weakness and Skeletal muscle. His research in Myopathy intersects with topics in Creatine kinase and Myosin.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • 229th ENMC international workshop: Limb girdle muscular dystrophies - Nomenclature and reformed classification Naarden, the Netherlands, 17-19 March 2017. (94 citations)
  • Increased dystrophin production with golodirsen in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. (46 citations)
  • Congenital Titinopathy: Comprehensive characterization and pathogenic insights (39 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Gene
  • Mutation

Volker Straub spends much of his time researching Muscular dystrophy, Internal medicine, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, Clinical trial and Skeletal muscle. Volker Straub has included themes like Missense mutation, Loss function, Phenotype, Frameshift mutation and Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy in his Muscular dystrophy study. The Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy study combines topics in areas such as Muscle biopsy and Cohort.

Much of his study explores Internal medicine relationship to Endocrinology. His work on Dystrophin as part of general Duchenne muscular dystrophy research is frequently linked to Rasch model, bridging the gap between disciplines. The study incorporates disciplines such as Magnetic resonance imaging, Muscle weakness and Pathology in addition to Skeletal muscle.
