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

William H. Gerwick focuses on Stereochemistry, Biochemistry, Cyanobacteria, Lyngbya majuscula and Natural product. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Stereochemistry, Gene cluster is strongly linked to Biosynthesis. His Biochemistry study focuses mostly on Metabolite, Enzyme and Biological activity.

His Cyanobacteria study incorporates themes from Ecology, Phylogenetics, Gene and Botany. His Lyngbya majuscula study often links to related topics such as Brine shrimp. His Natural product research incorporates themes from Computational biology and Drug discovery.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Stereochemistry (50.43%)
  • Biochemistry (29.74%)
  • Cyanobacteria (28.38%)

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

  • Stereochemistry (50.43%)
  • Cyanobacteria (28.38%)
  • Natural product (17.26%)

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

William H. Gerwick spends much of his time researching Stereochemistry, Cyanobacteria, Natural product, Biochemistry and Computational biology. William H. Gerwick studies Stereochemistry, focusing on Two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy in particular. His research in Cyanobacteria intersects with topics in Genome, Gene, Genomics, Microbiology and Cytotoxicity.

His work on Nonribosomal peptide and Gene cluster is typically connected to Heterologous expression as part of general Gene study, connecting several disciplines of science. The Natural product study combines topics in areas such as Ecology, Ecology and Chemical space, Drug discovery. His Computational biology research includes themes of Identification, Botany, DNA sequencing and Metabolomics.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Sharing and community curation of mass spectrometry data with Global Natural Products Social Molecular Networking (1067 citations)
  • Sharing and community curation of mass spectrometry data with Global Natural Products Social Molecular Networking (1067 citations)
  • Retrospective analysis of natural products provides insights for future discovery trends (197 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Organic chemistry

His primary areas of study are Biochemistry, Cyanobacteria, Stereochemistry, Computational biology and Gene. The study of Biochemistry is intertwined with the study of Neurotoxicity in a number of ways. His Cyanobacteria research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Microbiology and Algae.

His Stereochemistry research integrates issues from Polyketide synthase, Polyketide and Biphenyl compound. His Gene study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Moorea producens and Botany. His Moorea producens research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Evolutionary biology, Gene cluster, Genome and Biosynthesis.
