Our new article led by Jun He
is out on Brain! Combining #GWAS with imaging data available from UK Biobank, we explored sex differences linking #brain structure ad function with #hearing problems in adults. Yale Psychiatry

New article led by Brenda Cabrera Mendoza is on Neuropsychopharmacology! Using genetics, we dissected the dynamics linking #schizophrenia , #bipolardisorder , behavioral traits, and socioeconomic factors to #suicide attempt. Thanks to American Foundation for Suicide Prevention for supporting this work!

Unraveling COVID-19 relationship with anxiety disorders and symptoms using genome-wide data dlvr.it/T34zsD

Cabrera-Mendoza et al. use computational methods to investigate genetic signatures of assortative mating across behavioural and psychiatric traits identifying interactions between assortative mating, socioeconomic status and participation bias.

Another new study led by Brenda Cabrera Mendoza is on Nature Human Behaviour! Using PGC Consortium, VA Research, and UK Biobank, we assessed assortative mating, participation bias, and SES effect on behavioral PRS. Big thanks to Loïc Yengo for working with us on this!

Our new article led by Mihaela-Diana Zanoaga is out on Biological Psychiatry! Leveraging UK Biobank, FinnGen, and VA Research, we identified generalizable effects linking changes in #brain structure and function to #anxiety disorders and symptoms. Yale Psychiatry

For Brenda Cabrera Mendoza, a high school health class fueled a desire to unravel psychiatry’s mysteries.

Meet one of this year's #STATWunderkinds : trib.al/XnAHCxd

We are highlighting the LAGC-SUI subgroup today LAGC-PsychiatricGenetics headed by Humberto, Gabriel, and Brenda — Excited about future LA GWAS meta-analyses in suicide phenotypes!

#Congratulations to YSM researchers Brenda Cabrera Mendoza, Valerie Tornini, PhD and @Ruey_Hu on being named to the STAT Wunderkinds 2023 list, which highlights rising stars in #clinicalcare and #biomedical #research . brnw.ch/21wDBGI

So honored to be one of the 2023 STAT Wunderkinds along with a group of great scientists! statnews.com/wunderkinds-20…

🚨New preprint! Leveraging PGC Consortium, UK Biobank, and FinnGen, we showed that genetic risk and economic inequalities contribute independently to multiple #schizophrenia comorbidities. Big thanks to Alkermes for funding this effort!

These are warning signs that someone may be thinking about #suicide ⬇️

🔶 Severe mood changes
🔶 Social withdrawal
🔶 Expressing thoughts or plans about ending their life
🔶 Saying goodbye to close family and friends
🔶 Giving away valued possessions

#SuicidePrevention

Cada 40 segundos sucede.
En México, el suicidio ha tenido un crecimiento alarmante, especialmente entre jóvenes.

Hoy, en el Día Mundial para la #PrevenciónDelSuicidio , recordamos la importancia de la #saludmental y las redes de apoyo.

Por favor, pide o brinda ayuda.

🚨📢 We have open postdoc and postgrad positions to work on projects funded by National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), One Mind, NIDAnews, VA Research, and Alkermes! Please reach out to learn more about these opportunities. #Retweets appreciated. Yale Psychiatry Yale Department of Genetics Wu Tsai Institute | Yale University Yale Kavli Institute for Neuroscience
