Peter Zandi is a Professor at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, holding joint affiliations with the Department of Mental Health and the Division of Genetic Epidemiology. As Vice-Chair of Research in Mental Health and co-director of the Johns Hopkins Mood Disorders Program, he leads a multidisciplinary research agenda focused on psychiatric epidemiology and translational studies.
Education: PhD (2001), MHS (2000), and MPH (1997) all from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
His research spans genetic epidemiology, pharmacoepidemiology, and mental health informatics, with expertise in leveraging big data and bioinformatics to study severe mental illnesses like mood disorders and Alzheimer's. He pioneered the use of electronic medical records and mobile technologies for population-scale studies.
Recent publications highlight trends in
- pharmacogenetic responses to psychotropic medications
- Bayesian modeling for cognitive decline prediction
- digital mental health interventions
- and circadian rhythm genetics in bipolar disorder.
