Lu Yi PhD, Principal Researcher, Karolinska Institutet | Director, KI Psychiatric Genomics Institute

I lead a multidisciplinary team at Karolinska Institutet, Sweden, to identify genetic risk factors for common complex disorders, especially psychiatric disorders. By integrating large-scale genomics, single-cell transcriptomics and many other cutting-edge technologies, my work aims to uncover biological mechanisms that can be targeted for new therapies and more precise, subgroup-tailored treatments.

As co-chair of the Depression Working Group at the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium—the world’s largest collaborative network in psychiatric genomics—I am dedicated to foster international partnerships, promote open data sharing, and accelerate the translation of our discoveries into clinical applications.
