Understanding the etiology of psychiatric disorders through whole genome analyses [ 2017 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Jacob Gratten (Principal investigator)

Brief description Psychiatric disorders exert a huge social and economic burden on society. In recent years, large genetic studies have led to important new insights into these disorders. Major new human genomics resources will soon become available. My research will take advantage of these datasets to investigate the genetic basis of key epidemiological features of psychiatric disorders, including risk due to parental age and sex-biased prevalence, and to identify novel risk genes for schizophrenia and autism.
