Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMark Adams is a Senior Bioinformatician and Senior Research Fellow based in Edinburgh with 18 years of interdisciplinary experience at the intersection of psychiatric, psychological and evolutionary genetics. He combines deep quantitative training (PhD in Psychology; MSc in Quantitative Genetics) with hands-on data science and bioinformatics roles at Generation Scotland and the University of Edinburgh, leading analyses that bridge population cohorts and psychiatric genetics. His background ranges from field studies of animal behaviour and cooperative breeding to computational genetics and psychometrics, giving him an unusual ability to translate evolutionary theory into statistically rigorous genomic research. Colleagues know him as a curious generalist who pivots effectively between methods development and applied cohort analysis, and who brings pragmatic statistical thinking to complex psychiatric genetics problems.
