Forskning

My research focuses on genetic risk factors and the biological mechanisms of mental disorders. I developed integrated omics methods to explore the aetiology of mental disorders and comorbidities, most notably SMR and GSMR (~3500 citations). Beyond methodological advancements, I collaborate with clinical psychiatrists and epidemiologists to translate genomics insights for improving mental health outcomes.

Profil

I am a psychiatric genomicist specialising in mental disorders and associated comorbidities, with over a decade of experience in genomics-based mental health research. Early in my career, I contributed to the development of genomic methodologies and the identification of functional genes. In 2020, I joined the National Centre for Register-based Research at Aarhus University, in which my research focuses on genetic risk factors for mental disorders.
