Prof Dr Na Cai is the BRCCH Assistant Professor in Computational Medical Genomics. She is based at the Department of Biosystems Science and Engineering at ETH Zurich, where she investigates the genetic bases of psychiatric disorders, particularly Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). The main aim of her research is to develop new computational models to assess the risk of developing MDD based on genetic variation. In addition, she studies the impact of MDD genetic factors on other psychiatric conditions, such as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorders, which often co-occurs with MDD during the childhood.
