Gleda Kutrolli

Gleda Kutrolli serves as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Centre for Precision Psychiatry within the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Oslo, based at Oslo University Hospital HF - Ullevål. Her research integrates psychiatric genetics with neuroscientific approaches to investigate the molecular underpinnings of mental health disorders.

Her research interests focus on identifying genetic mechanisms linking psychiatric conditions with physiological markers and cognitive functions. Through large-scale genomic studies, she examines pleiotropic effects in metabolic pathways, sex-specific genetic variations, and shared architectures between disorders like epilepsy, schizophrenia, and substance use disorders. Her work frequently employs genome-wide association studies to uncover novel risk loci and biological pathways.

Analysis of her publication record reveals a strong emphasis on interdisciplinary psychiatric genetics, with recurring themes including the relationship between mental health disorders and physical health markers, cognitive function correlations across psychiatric conditions, and sex-specific genetic effects. Her research consistently bridges clinical psychiatry with molecular genetics to identify potential therapeutic targets.

Kutrolli actively collaborates with leading researchers across multiple international consortia, contributing to high-impact publications in journals including Nature Communications, American Journal of Psychiatry, and JAMA Psychiatry. Her work demonstrates methodological expertise in statistical genetics and cross-trait analysis approaches.
