Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLiang Ma is an Assistant Professor and neuroscientist with 10 years of research experience at the intersection of evolutionary genetics and psychiatric genomics, currently based at UT Health San Antonio. He has led and contributed to population-specific GWAS and rare-haplotype studies implicating the CREB1 signaling pathway in schizophrenia risk, emphasizing population heterogeneity and evolutionary selection. Trained with a PhD from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and seasoned by postdoctoral work at Stanford and Lieber Institute, he combines computational genetics with neuroimaging-translational approaches at TreNDS. His work highlights a careful skepticism toward replicated common-variant signals and a focus on rare variation and mitochondrial candidates, reflecting a nuanced view of psychiatric disease biology.
