According to the creators of the ranking, the persons on this list of "Highly Cited Researchers" belong to the most influential one percent of their field worldwide. The benchmark is the frequency with which their scientific publications were cited by other researchers in the past decade (period from 2009 to 2019). The ranking is published annually by the "Web of Science Group" and contains around 6,200 scientists in 21 subject categories.

Following members of ImmunoSensation are named 'Highly Cited Researcher':

The Retina as a Window into the Early Detection of Brain Diseases

—The retina is the only part of the central nervous system that can be examined non-invasively and at high resolution in living humans. Dr Christina Mayer and her team at Bonn University Hospital (UKB) and the University of Bonn aim to use this unique feature to detect inflammatory and vascular diseases of the brain earlier and more accurately, and to better understand how they develop. The Corona Foundation is providing €1 million to establish her junior research group. The programme gives outstanding early-career researchers the opportunity to qualify for a university professorship.
