Biography

Mark W. Logue, PhD, is a prominent researcher at Boston University in the Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine. His research focuses on using computational tools to study the human genome and identify genetic variants that may influence the risk of psychiatric and neurological disorders, specifically panic disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and Alzheimer’s disease. His work explores how complex genetic traits interact with environmental factors to determine individual risk levels. Logue examines genetic data through various means, including microsatellite markers and single nucleotide polymorphisms, and integrates information from affected family members and large-scale case-control studies. This research aims to identify biological systems and molecular pathways that are disrupted in these disorders, potentially leading to new biomarkers and personalized treatment approaches based on a patient’s genetic makeup.
