Summary

Epigenetic and structural brain alterations have been separately linked to neurodevelopmental and psychiatric conditions, but little is known about their combined impact on health and how this association changes from infancy to adulthood. The student will lead a set of multi-cohort studies within the international MIND consortium to systematically characterize associations between epigenetic patterns, structural brain variation and mental health outcomes across development.
