Dr. Rona Strawbridge is Senior Lecturer in Mental Health & Wellbeing at University of Glasgow, leading the Behavioural Epidemiology and Genetics group. Her UKRI-funded research examines genetic links between serious mental illness and cardiometabolic disease.
Research employs genomic approaches including polygenic scoring and Mendelian randomization across psychiatric and cardiometabolic domains. Key investigations focus on shared biological mechanisms between conditions and therapeutic repurposing opportunities.
Key Findings:
- Identified genetic overlap between schizophrenia and cardiovascular disease
- Discovered GLP-1 receptor associations with mental health traits
- Developed predictive models integrating proteomics and genetics
Collaborations span Karolinska Institute, European academic consortia, and UK Biobank research teams. Work has been recognized through competitive fellowships supporting innovative methods development.
