Mary-Ellen Lynall leads the Cambridge-Oxford BioMind Laboratory, focusing on the brain-immune interface in psychiatric illness. She employs translational approaches that integrate bioinformatics and wet-lab methods to uncover mechanisms, biomarkers, and therapeutic targets. Her research spans several key areas, including immunogenetics, immunophenotyping, high-throughput functional genomics, and single-cell proteomic technologies, all applied to blood samples from patient cohorts and population studies. She has a particular emphasis on understanding psychiatric risk variants and their contributions to immunopathogenesis. Lynall fosters a collaborative and interdisciplinary team environment at the intersection of neuroscience, immunology, and genetics, providing opportunities for researchers to build expertise in cutting-edge computational and experimental methods aimed at advancing the understanding of the mechanisms underlying psychiatric diseases.
