معرفی
Mario Skarica, MD is an Associate Research Scientist in the Department of Psychiatry at Yale School of Medicine. His research focuses on molecular mechanisms underlying neuropsychiatric disorders such as PTSD, neuroinflammation, and neuroimmune interactions. He completed his medical degree at the University of Zagreb in 2002.
Key research areas include PTSD molecular pathology, brain somatic mosaicism, and metallothionein biology. He has collaborated extensively with researchers like Hongyu Zhao, John Krystal, and Alexej Abyzov on studies involving single-cell genomics and brain transcriptomics. His work has been published in high-impact journals including Science, Biological Psychiatry, and Molecular Psychiatry.
Recent studies investigate cell-type specific genomic signatures in PTSD brains and neuronal diversity in human cortex. His research integrates functional genomics, transcriptomics, and systems biology approaches to understand disease mechanisms.
