Feinberg Investigators Featured on Global ‘Highly Cited’ List

By

Twelve faculty with appointments at Feinberg were named to the 2022 “Highly Cited Researchers” list, published by Clarivate Analytics. The annual list identifies investigators who have demonstrated significant influence in their field through the publication of highly cited publications during the last decade. 

The data in the list is pulled from papers published in science and social sciences journals from 2011 through 2021. The list includes those investigators who rank among the top one percent as the most cited for their subject field and year of publication.

“When I arrived on campus in 2014, six investigators from Feinberg were recognized on the Clarivate ‘Highly Cited’ list. Remarkably, just eight years later, the number of highly cited investigators has doubled,” said Kristi Holmes, PhD, director of the Galter Health Sciences Library. “While citation counts are not the only indicator of the impact of a body of work, this recognition clearly demonstrates that these investigators are highly productive, with research that drives discovery and innovation on the global level.”

Continued investment in Feinberg research creates an environment that nurtures and sustains this excellence, according to Holmes.

“Our faculty continue to lead in their fields and across fields to publish research that has a major impact on the scientific community and human health,” said Rex Chisholm, PhD, vice dean for scientific affairs and graduate education and the Adam and Richard T. Lind Professor of Medical Genetics.

The Feinberg investigators included in the list and recognized for their exceptional impact on their fields are:
