Sebastian Lundström

Sebastian Lundström is an Associate Professor and Researcher in the Department of Psychiatry and Neurochemistry at the University of Gothenburg. His work focuses on child and adolescent psychiatry, with a strong emphasis on neurodevelopmental disorders, psychiatric genetics, and twin studies. Key areas of research include autism spectrum disorders, ADHD, eating disorders (e.g., ARFID), and the genetic and environmental underpinnings of mental health conditions.

His research employs advanced methodologies such as genome-wide association studies (GWAS), longitudinal twin cohort analysis, and neuroimaging techniques like MEG. Notable contributions include studies on comorbidity patterns in neurodevelopmental disorders, the impact of environmental sensitivity in psychiatric phenotypes, and the genetic architecture of conditions like ARFID and synaesthesia.

Lundström has published extensively in high-impact journals such as JAMA Pediatrics, Nature Human Behaviour, and Biological Psychiatry. His work bridges clinical and basic research, aiming to improve diagnostic tools and inform interventions for neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders.
