His research focuses on genetic epidemiology, mental health disorders (e.g., ADHD, autism, schizophrenia, eating disorders), neurodevelopment, and the socio-economic determinants of health. His work combines genomic analyses with large-scale population data to uncover biological and environmental factors influencing mental health and neurodevelopmental outcomes.
Recent articles highlight his contributions to understanding the genetic basis of depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, eating disorders, and autism, as well as the role of neonatal vitamin D levels and immunoglobulin responses in neurodevelopmental risks. He has also explored the intersection of genetics and socio-economic factors, such as income disparities linked to genetic variants.
