معرفی
Christie Musket is a Research Fellow at Yale School of Medicine, Yale University, focusing on schizophrenia genetics, neurodevelopmental models, and psychopathology. Her research explores genetic risk factors for psychiatric disorders, brain structure variations, and socio-environmental influences on mental health. She employs multiplex extended pedigree studies and neuroimaging techniques to uncover mechanisms linking genetic predispositions to clinical outcomes.
Key research interests include the genetic architecture of schizophrenia, ethnoracial disparities in psychosis risk, and age-dependent effects of genetic liability on brain morphology and cognition. Her work bridges clinical neuroscience, epidemiology, and public health to address mental health inequities. Recent studies highlight interactions between substance abuse genetics and brain structure, as well as the role of early intervention in mitigating untreated psychosis duration.
Publications demonstrate methodological rigor through meta-analyses, systematic reviews, and longitudinal pedigree studies. Her contributions advance understanding of neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative pathways in psychiatric disorders, with implications for precision medicine and healthcare policy.
