Research
I conduct quantitative genetics research predominantly focusing on schizophrenia and bipolar disorder as well as some projects on depression and eating disorders. My current studies aim to better understand the genetic and environmental contributions to disease risk, comorbidities associated with these disorders, and the observed variability within patient groups. I also have a keen interest in developing ways of subtyping patients to better understand the heterogeneous etiological pathways that give rise to these disorders. My strong foundation in neuroscience offers added biological context to the results from genetic research studies. Ultimately, I hope my research will contribute to improved treatment and prevention strategies for serious, chronic mental illnesses.
