Biography

Emanuele F Osimo is an Assistant Research Professor and Honorary Consultant in Psychiatry at the University of Cambridge and the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust. His research focuses on early psychosis, schizophrenia, and mood disorders, particularly exploring the psychiatric, immune, and cardio-metabolic dimensions of mental illnesses. He employs clinical informatics, epidemiology, and data science to analyze large datasets and create longitudinal virtual cohorts of psychiatric patients, which are crucial for characterizing immune and metabolic markers during different stages of illness. A significant achievement includes the development of the clinical risk prediction tool named MOZART, designed for calculating the risk of treatment-resistant schizophrenia over time. Osimo's work has garnered recognition, including the Early Career Award from the Schizophrenia International Research Society. His academic background includes a PhD in bioinformatics from Imperial College London, focusing on the genetics of schizophrenia, and he has applied clinical research methods such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging to study cardiac adaptations in schizophrenia. He is actively involved in several leadership roles in mental health research, including the Cambridge Mental Health Mission and the Early Psychosis Workstream.
