Yu-Lung Lau

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Internal medicine
• Gene
• Disease

Immunology, Virology, Genetics, Internal medicine and Influenza A virus are his primary areas of study. The Immunology study combines topics in areas such as Genome-wide association study, Disease and Allele. His Virology research includes themes of Proinflammatory cytokine, Interleukin 12 and Coronavirus.

In general Genetics, his work in Gene, Locus and Genetic association is often linked to Citrin and Neonatal hepatitis linking many areas of study. As a part of the same scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Internal medicine, focusing on Gastroenterology and, on occasion, Retrospective cohort study. The various areas that Yu-Lung Lau examines in his Influenza A virus study include Tumor necrosis factor alpha, Cytokine, Oseltamivir, Viral load and Viral shedding.

His most cited work include:

• Induction of proinflammatory cytokines in human macrophages by influenza A (H5N1) viruses: a mechanism for the unusual severity of human disease? (764 citations)
• High frequencies in African and non-African populations of independent mutations in the mannose binding protein gene (378 citations)
• Children with respiratory disease associated with metapneumovirus in Hong Kong. (353 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Immunology, Pediatrics, Virology, Genetics and Internal medicine. His work in Immunology addresses issues such as Genotype, which are connected to fields such as Allele. In most of his Pediatrics studies, his work intersects topics such as Epidemiology.

His research on Virology frequently connects to adjacent areas such as Microbiology. His is involved in several facets of Genetics study, as is seen by his studies on Gene, Genome-wide association study and Single-nucleotide polymorphism. His research in Internal medicine intersects with topics in Gastroenterology, Endocrinology and Oncology.

He most often published in these fields:

• Immunology (37.01%)
• Pediatrics (16.42%)
• Virology (13.73%)

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

• Immunology (37.01%)
• Genetics (12.39%)
• Primary immunodeficiency (5.82%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Immunology, Genetics, Primary immunodeficiency, Pediatrics and Exome sequencing. In his research, Poliovirus is intimately related to Bruton's tyrosine kinase, which falls under the overarching field of Immunology. Yu-Lung Lau has included themes like Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, Chronic granulomatous disease, Rotavirus vaccination, Rotavirus vaccine and Asthma in his Pediatrics study.

Yu-Lung Lau has researched Exome sequencing in several fields, including Genetic diagnosis, Cohort, Family medicine and Rare disease. His Immune system research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Virus and Influenza A virus. Yu-Lung Lau works mostly in the field of Virus, limiting it down to topics relating to Acquired immune system and, in certain cases, Virology.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

• Genome-wide association meta-analysis in Chinese and European individuals identifies ten new loci associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (169 citations)
• Genome-wide mega-analysis identifies 16 loci and highlights diverse biological mechanisms in the common epilepsies (140 citations)
• Effects of Complement C4 Gene Copy Number Variations, Size Dichotomy, and C4A Deficiency on Genetic Risk and Clinical Presentation of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus in East Asian Populations. (33 citations)

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

• Internal medicine
• Gene
• Disease

Yu-Lung Lau mainly investigates Immunology, Genetics, Genome-wide association study, Primary immunodeficiency and Pediatrics. His Immunology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Mutation and Genotype. His research investigates the link between Genetics and topics such as Case-control study that cross with problems in Pregnancy, Tobacco smoke, Telomere Homeostasis, Young adult and Obstetrics.

His Genome-wide association study research includes elements of Polymorphism, Autoimmune disease, Genetic association, Missing heritability problem and Genetic architecture. His work carried out in the field of Pediatrics brings together such families of science as X-linked agammaglobulinemia, Rotavirus vaccination, Rotavirus vaccine and Family history. His Immune system study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Cytotoxic T cell and Virus.
