Inside the Research
Genomics is an approach for precision medicine used to evaluate the risk for suicide. This project seeks to discover molecular biomarkers that can be used to screen for risk of suicidal behavior, and it focuses on the development of predictive models that combine multiple genes to identify poly-omics risk scores using several large databases. This model will be applied to stratify patients into low-, moderate-, and high-risk strata of suicide risk to test the validity and utility of genomic risk scores in clinical practice.
