Srdjan's Projects

• Identification of the hidden heritability of severe mental disorders
• Identifying the polygenic basis of the human brain and neurodevelopmental disorders
• Identifying causal variants in candidate regions
• Human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) technologies in psychiatric molecular genetics
• Prediction of longitudinal outcome and brain phenotype by polygenic scores
• Identification of genetic loci associated with neurocognitive and MR phenotypes and implications for disease mechanisms in severe mental disorders
• Biobanking, database, sample prep, QC

It is of vital importance to base genetic discovery on large samples, which is difficult to obtain without international collaboration. The Psychiatric Molecular Genetics Group participates in several large European studies of schizophrenia genetics, the SGENE-plus group (coordinated by deCODE, and including research groups as well as samples from England, Germany, Finland, Denmark, Iceland, Scotland) and Scandinavian Collaboration on Psychiatric Etiology (SCOPE),

Further, the Psychiatric Molecular Genetics Group is a member of the Psychiatric Genetics Consortium (PGC) which includes all GWAS studies in psychiatric genetics, as well as European IPSC Consortium for Neuropsychiatric Disorders  (EURICND)
