RIP Jane Goodall.. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/01/s...

☀️ We are happy to have Jente Meijer from the Bonn–Melbourne Joint PhD Program visiting us in Bonn this week! ☀️ Her talk “Towards precision psychiatry using multi-view clustering approaches” was a wonderful opportunity to learn how machine learning can be applied in psychiatry. 🎓🧠💻

Happy to share our newest work on #covid19 #hostgenetics ! An analysis of >1000 whole genomes with @kuludwig.bsky.social and Axel Schmidt at University of Bonn and Uniklinik Bonn, the DeCOI consortium and many colleagues from around Germany & beyond. #plospathogens journals.plos.org/plospathogen...

✨Psygenomics Lab escapes the psych ward! ✨ We had a lot of fun at our early Christmas outing at the psychiatry-themed escape room! 🧠🕵️‍♀️🎄

Happy new year! (It‘s been a while since I enjoyed the vast horizons on bluesky…)

New paper by Andy Dahl and I on phenotype integration improving GWAS power while preserving specificity is now out in Nature Genetics 🧬🎉 thank you all collaborators and reviewers! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

My current view of psychological/psychiatric science: we have to be an order of magnitude more ambitions about the quality and quantity of the data we collect; in order to answer questions that are an order of magnitude more modest than the questions we think we can answer.

🧪 Study of over a million genomes reveals links between specific genomic regions and cannabis addiction. These regions also relate to schizophrenia & lung cancer. Further, a two-way relationship between heavy cannabis use and schizophrenia is identified, highlighting potential mutual influence. 🩺🧬🖥️

Lifestyle and depression—this is a nice study that helps confirm the common wisdom in my field that helping people improve nutrition, physical activity, sleep, social connections while reducing alcohol consumption, smoking, and sedentary behavior reduces the risk of depression. #psychscisky #ClinPsy
