Borna Moric

Borna Moric serves as a Guest researcher at the Biotech Research & Innovation Centre (BRIC) of the University of Copenhagen, Denmark, where he is embedded within the Khodosevich Group. His institutional affiliation centers on neuroscience research at Ole Maaløes Vej 5, 2200 København N, leveraging BRIC's infrastructure for advanced genomic investigations.

His research spans Neuroscience, Genetics, and Psychiatry with emphasis on neurodevelopmental disorders. Moric employs single-cell transcriptomics to dissect cellular vulnerabilities in genetic conditions like 15q13.3 microdeletion syndrome, targeting interneuron subtypes implicated in epilepsy and intellectual disability. This work bridges molecular mechanisms with clinical psychiatric manifestations through high-resolution genomic profiling.

The 2022 publication in Biological Psychiatry exemplifies his methodological approach, analyzing transcriptomic signatures to identify at-risk neuronal populations. This study has garnered 14 Scopus citations, 71 institutional downloads, and attention from 3 news outlets and 64 Mendeley readers, reflecting its impact on understanding genetic psychiatric disorders.

Within the Khodosevich Group, Moric collaborates with a multidisciplinary team including neuroscientists (Kiehn, Vasistha), geneticists (Khodosevich, Korshunova), and clinicians to unravel the pathophysiology of brain disorders using cutting-edge genomic tools and mouse models.
