Monica Uddin, PhD

Title:
Research Assistant Professor, Epidemiology

Interests:
My research is fundamentally concerned with investigating the biologic underpinnings of mental health and illness, and the ways in which the social environment may modify the association between genotypes at neurobiologically relevant loci and mental illness-related phenotypes among individuals in community-based settings. My current research uses genetic and genomic data obtained from large, population-based datasets, in conjunction with data on sampled individuals’ social and macrosocial contexts, in order to more fully elucidate the complex relationship(s) between genotype/epigenotype, social environment and mental health and illness.
