Biography

I am a clinical psychologist and statistical geneticist investigating the genetic architecture of psychiatric and neurological disorders, with particular interest in immune system involvement in disease etiology. My research focuses on identifying common genetic variants associated with complex traits and translating these discoveries into biological insights through computational approaches.
