Summary
“Mood disorders (MDs), e.g. depression, affect over one billion people worldwide. MDs show a bidirectional relationship with systemic
inflammation, a key component in the pathophysiology of autoimmune disorders (ADs), e.g. rheumatoid arthritis. This exciting project will
integrate genetic and metabolomics data from UK biobank to identify and experimentally validate novel biomarkers. Results will be utilised in
developing new diagnostic tools for MD-AD comorbidity.”
