September 2, 2005 CCGS/Genetics faculty member Pat Sullivan was recently appointed Foreign Adjunct Professor of Genetic Epidemiology by the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden. The purpose of these appointments is to strengthen international collaboration and to foster long-term scientific exchange with researchers outside the institute. The period of appointment lasts for six years with a possibility of renewal. Sullivan has collaborated with faculty at Karolinska for the past six years to understand the etiology of a number of important health problems such as major depression, chronic fatigue syndrome, smoking behavior, and schizophrenia. A key resource in these studies is the Swedish Twin Registry, which is administered by the Karolinska Institutet. This is the largest twin registry in the world and has become an invaluable resource for the medical research community. |
