Shahram Bahrami is a Researcher at the Center for Precision Psychiatry, University of Oslo, affiliated with Oslo University Hospital. His work focuses on genetic studies related to psychiatric and neurological disorders, particularly Alzheimer’s disease, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and epilepsy. He leads projects analyzing genetic architecture across brain disorders and their overlaps with traits like cognitive function and cardiovascular health.

Research interests encompass genome-wide association studies (GWAS), polygenic risk scores, and the genetic basis of mental disorders. He investigates the shared genetic mechanisms between psychiatric conditions and comorbidities like hypertension or irritable bowel syndrome. His work emphasizes cross-disorder analyses to uncover pleiotropy and molecular pathways.
Key recent studies include identifying genetic loci for Alzheimer’s across populations, analyzing opioid use disorder genetics, and linking brain structures (e.g., basal ganglia, hippocampus) to disease risks. Articles often explore genetic overlaps between mental health, neurodegenerative diseases, and systemic traits like inflammation or metabolism.
Collaborations span international consortia, emphasizing large-scale data integration. He develops statistical tools (e.g., GSA-MiXeR) for functional gene-set analysis and has contributed to understanding lithium’s molecular effects in bipolar disorder treatment.
