Research interests
For the first time I think ever I have arrived to a situation where I think I have a genuine research interest. Oh, I have filled out gazillion forms asking for research interests in my life, but so far, I have filled them as if they said, instead ,“some quite interesting stuff these other guys invited me to do with them” or “stuff I think is inherently cool”. Which are very nice things both, but not quite the same. Lately, for the first time, I have had this “I want to understand this even if it takes me my whole life” thing going on in my head.
So, Janka’s Log proudly presents, my research interests:
- medical genetics, specifically
- the analysis of complex phenotypes, specifically
- the genetic and environmental etiology of temperament and mental health, specifically
- the classification, origin, genetic predisposition, and co-phenotypes of psychoses.
Yes, I totally made up the word “co-phenotype”.
