Dr. George K. Kirov is affiliated with the MRC Centre for Neuropsychiatric Genetics and Genomics, Division of Psychological Medicine and Clinical Neurosciences, School of Medicine, Cardiff University, Cardiff, United Kingdom. He has made significant contributions to the understanding of the genetic underpinnings of neuropsychiatric disorders, particularly schizophrenia and mood disorders.Research Contributions
Dr. George K. Kirov's research focuses on the genetic architecture and biological mechanisms underlying psychiatric conditions such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and depression. His recent work includes studies on the genetic association of FMRP targets with psychiatric disorders, the impact of rare copy number variants on cognition in schizophrenia, and the effects of genomic copy number variants on cortical thickness and surface area in healthy individuals. Additionally, he has explored the role of electroconvulsive therapy in treating depression and the mortality risk associated with COVID-19 in psychiatric patients.Aliases
