Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Cancer
  • Internal medicine

Genetics, Cancer research, Gene, Single-nucleotide polymorphism and Molecular biology are his primary areas of study. His Genetics study focuses mostly on Genome-wide association study, Locus, Allele, SNP and Chromosome. The various areas that he examines in his Cancer research study include Cancer cell, Cancer, Tumor suppressor gene, Carcinogenesis and Loss of heterozygosity.

His Cancer research includes themes of Oncology and Pathology. His Single-nucleotide polymorphism research incorporates elements of Odds ratio, Immunology and Haplotype. The Molecular biology study combines topics in areas such as Mutation and Exon.

His most cited work include:

  • A haplotype map of the human genome (5144 citations)
  • The International HapMap Project (5051 citations)
  • A second generation human haplotype map of over 3.1 million SNPs (3819 citations)

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

His main research concerns Genetics, Cancer research, Gene, Molecular biology and Internal medicine. His work in Chromosome, DNA sequencing, Single-nucleotide polymorphism, Gene mapping and DNA is related to Genetics. His Chromosome study deals with Genetic marker intersecting with Genetic linkage.

His study in Single-nucleotide polymorphism is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Odds ratio and Allele. His study looks at the relationship between Cancer research and topics such as Cancer, which overlap with Immunology. His research integrates issues of Gastroenterology, Endocrinology and Oncology in his study of Internal medicine.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (35.86%)
  • Cancer research (23.52%)
  • Gene (21.38%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Cancer research (23.52%)
  • Internal medicine (16.84%)
  • Cancer (15.02%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Cancer research, Internal medicine, Cancer, Oncology and Immunology. His Cancer research research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Gene knockdown, Cancer cell, T cell, T-cell receptor and Kinase. In most of his Gene knockdown studies, his work intersects topics such as Carcinogenesis.

His Internal medicine research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Gastroenterology and Peptide vaccine. His studies in Cancer integrate themes in fields like Mutation and Antigen. He works in the field of Immunology, focusing on Immune system in particular.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Genetic associations at 53 loci highlight cell types and biological pathways relevant for kidney function (273 citations)
  • Association Between Telomere Length and Risk of Cancer and Non-Neoplastic Diseases A Mendelian Randomization Study (209 citations)
  • Critical roles of non-histone protein lysine methylation in human tumorigenesis (198 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Cancer
  • Internal medicine

Yusuke Nakamura mainly investigates Cancer research, Cancer, Internal medicine, Immunology and Oncology. His Cancer research research incorporates elements of Methylation, Gene knockdown, Carcinogenesis, Tumor microenvironment and Maternal embryonic leucine zipper kinase. The concepts of his Cancer study are interwoven with issues in Genome-wide association study and Single-nucleotide polymorphism.

His Internal medicine research includes elements of Biobank and Endocrinology. The subject of his Genetic association research is within the realm of Genetics. Yusuke Nakamura works on Genetics which deals in particular with Locus.
