معرفی
Jakub Kopal is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Centre for Precision Psychiatry, Oslo University Hospital, University of Oslo, holding an MSCA fellowship focused on genetic-brain-behavior relationships.
He earned his Ph.D. in neuroscience (2021) through a joint program at the University of Chemistry and Technology, Prague, and Université Toulouse III – Paul Sabatier.
His research integrates neuroscience, genetics, and computational psychiatry to investigate how genetic variations—particularly rare mutations—influence brain structure and behavioral outcomes. He emphasizes population diversity to enhance reproducibility in neuroimaging and psychiatric research, with expertise in data visualization and large-scale analytics.
Recent publications in Nature Communications, Nature Human Behaviour, and Nature Methods demonstrate his work leveraging multi-omics data to unravel psychiatric disorder mechanisms while advocating for inclusive methodological frameworks in computational neuroscience.
Dr. Kopal collaborates within Oslo University Hospital's Precision Psychiatry group, building on prior work with Danilo Bzdok (McGill University) and Sébastien Jacquemont (CHU Saint-Justine) at the neuroscience-genetics interface.
