Publications and Impact: 287 publications (106 in past 5 y, 11,758 total citations; H-score: 59; FWCI: 2.46) including 30.4% of publications in the top 10% most cited publications worldwide, 50.5% of publications in the top 10% journals by CiteScore.
 
Contribution to the field and impact: ranked in the top 0.061% of published authors worldwide on paraganglioma (Expertscape), in the top 0.3% on thyroid cancer and in the top 1.1% of authors on Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia. He is a member of the International Thyroid Oncology Group (which facilitates clinical trials in thyroid cancer), the A5 alliance (facilitating adrenal research in North and South America, Australia and Asia), and on the medical advisory board for the Pheo-Para Alliance (supporting patients with phaeochromocytomas and paragangliomas.)
