Senior🎓
Top SchoolPaul Pavlidis is a Professor of Psychiatry at the University of British Columbia who applies two decades of bioinformatics and computational biology expertise to questions in neuroscience and translational psychiatry. Trained in Drosophila neurogenetics (PhD, UC Berkeley) and with postdoctoral experience in mammalian synaptic physiology at Stanford and Columbia, he bridges wet-lab neuroscience and large-scale gene expression and epigenetics analyses. He has led bioinformatics initiatives since joining UBC in 2006 and previously helped build computational biology programs at Columbia. A Michael Smith Foundation Career Scholar, he is known for integrating meta-analysis and genomics approaches to uncover molecular signatures of brain function and disease—bringing both experimental insight and informatics rigor to complex neurobiological problems.
