Professional scientist, amateur human. Lead Copenhagen-based 'Polygene Research Group' w/ psychiatry tilt. Need kind postdocs - bonus points if you're clever.
Copenhagen, Denmark
Joined August 2017
Openings for talented researchers interested in large-scale genetic epidemiology of psychiatry disorders :-) https://t.co/rNyUoE3eHE

Thanks to the extremely hard and thorough work from @Morten_DK_ and support from many collaborators. Don't forget about family data - still useful for genetics!

When your friends are great scientists, you make a seminar! Join us at Copenhagen University for a top-notch psychiatric genetics speaker line up. Friday, September 15th. 9:00 to 15:30.

1993 - Schork (elder) and Schork (elder^2) describe power for estimating genetic effects in pedigrees ( https://t.co/J181wjMfoh) 2023 - Schork (younger) is informed his latest Fig 3 is not w/o precedence ( https://t.co/YjFfMjOo8F) Thanks, Dad. 🙄 Still a heritability skeptic?

Genetics was founded on family data and it's still relevant in the era of genotypes! PA-FGRS is a new method for estimating genetic liability from pedigrees. How we combine it with SNPs to study MDD? What's the best use? (hint: not GWAS) https://t.co/CYQ10qA9jC

Why do family history and polygenic scores explain independent variance for complex traits? Is it because family history is an 'environmental instrument'? Or are these just two very noisy genetic predictors? See our new paper for a deep dive. https://t.co/oJ6sJJLARk

Genetics as a science has roots in studying phenotypes of relatives, but molecular approaches facilitate direct measurements of genomic variation within individuals. Agricultural and human biomedical...
