معرفی
Maria Didriksen is a Research Fellow in the Department of Neuroscience at the University of Copenhagen, working within the Neuropharm and Genetics research group. Her work integrates genomic, epidemiological, and clinical approaches to study mental health disorders and resilience mechanisms.
Her research spans Psychiatric Genetics, Neuroscience, and Mental Health Epidemiology, focusing on depression, ADHD, psychosis, and migraine. She investigates genetic risk factors (including polygenic scores), environmental impacts like pandemic restrictions, and develops innovative assessment tools such as virtual reality-based cognitive testing.
Analysis of her 2025 publications reveals strong emphasis on large-scale genomic consortia (e.g., trans-ancestry depression GWAS in Cell) and population-based cohort studies. Her work bridges basic neuroscience with clinical applications, particularly in understanding resilience mechanisms and pandemic-related mental health trajectories.
Dr. Didriksen is an active collaborator in the Danish Blood Donor Study Genomic Consortium and Copenhagen Hospital Biobank, with research disseminated through high-impact journals and amplified by significant media coverage (270+ news outlets for depression genomics work).
