Karoly Mirnics

Department of Psychiatry, Vanderbilt University, United States of America

Karoly finished his medical studies at University of Novi Sad (Yugoslavia) in 1986. He established his independent laboratory in 2000 at the Department of Psychiatry at University of Pittsburgh and Western Psychiatric Institute Clinic. His research is primarily funded by the NIMH.

Research interests include transcriptome profiling of human brain disorders and deciphering complex gene expression patterns of animal models related to psychiatric and neurodegenerative diseases.

External collaborators include Drs. S. Sisodia (U of Chicago), J. DeFelipe (Cajal Institute, Madrid), B. Trapp (Cleveland Clinic), Pat Levitt (Vanderbilt University) and J. Cameron (Oregon Primate Center). Karoly is a member of the Society for Neuroscience,

External Scientist Board of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Society for
Biological Psychiatry and other professional organizations.

Any competing interests declared are displayed with individual evaluations.

Faculty Member: Neurological Disorders > Neurogenetics (since 14 November 2005)
