Institute of Biological Psychiatry (IBP), Mental Health Services, Sct. Hans Information

Institute of Biological Psychiatry is an interdisciplinary research facility working in the intersection between molecular biology, genomics, register research and psychiatry. Our research focuses on the biological expression of mental disorders, and the association between genetics and mental illness, and we house more than 30 people with a broad range of academic and professional backgrounds. Headed by Professor and Research Director Thomas Werge, the institute is the epicenter of biomedical psychiatric research and clinical biochemistry in the Mental Health Services in the Capital Region of Denmark. Additionally, we are affiliated with the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Copenhagen, and represent one of the six partners in the Lundbeck Foundation’s Initiative for Integrative Psychiatric Research (iPSYCH). Our research is conducted in close collaboration with some of the world’s leading research teams, national initiatives, and international consortia, and we regularly publish our discoveries in major, peer-reviewed journals, enabling others to challenge, expand, make use of, and/or validate our findings. The institute is based on the Mental Health Centre Sct. Hans in Roskilde and is home to Center for Neurogenetics, Center for Precision Psychiatry, Department for Clinical Biochemistry, and Center for Translational Psychiatry.
