Hey there! My name is Jaroslav Bendl and I am an Assistant Professor at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. My long term research interests involve the development of algorithms and pipelines focused on the analysis of the human genome. In my current position, I am specifically focused on neuropsychiatric and neurological disorders such as schizophrenia, depression, bipolar disease, and Alzheimer’s disease. By combining molecular assays generated from postmortem human brains (genome, transcriptome, epigenome), I am trying to come up with a better explanation of genetic factors that carry the risk for those diseases and the mechanisms through which they act.
