[Drand] ScientiFika 31/05 – Natassia Robinson – 'Genes versus environment in severe mental illness'

[Nikki Arendse]

Dear Juniors,

It is my pleasure to announce this week's ScientiFika. Join us on Friday the 31st of May at 16:00 for delicious Swedish pastries and an interesting talk by Natassia Robinson, a postdoctoral researcher at Karolinska Institute, about biostatistics and psychiatric disorders.


Natassia Robinson

Genes versus environment in severe mental illness

Schizophrenia (SCZ) and bipolar disorder (BD) are severe psychiatric disorders that result from the complex interplay between genetic and environmental risk factors. Shared genetic risk between SCZ and BD is well-established, yet the extent to which they share environmental risk factors remains unclear. A longstanding topic of debate has been the nature and extent of interactions between genetic and environmental risk factors. In this talk, I will summarise the genetic and environmental contributions to SCZ and BD and share some of our findings from investigations in the Swedish population.


Place: NORDITA Floor 6 - Fika area (in-person only).
Address: AlbaNova University Center, Hannes Alfvéns väg 12
