The BRCCH cordially invites you to the inaugural lecture of Prof Na Cai, who holds a BRCCH professorship in Computational Medical Genomics at ETH Zurich. In her talk, Prof Na Cai will discuss the genetic factors underlying major depression disorder, a condition afflicting children and adolescents worldwide and still without reliable diagnostics or effective treatment. In addition, she will describe the future directions of her research, from innovative methodologies for mining biobanks and electronic health records to the use of combined molecular, clinical and environmental data to uncover the heterogeneity behind depression’ causes.
