T. Conrad Gilliam is the Marjorie Bernard Mitchell Distinguished Service Professor in Human Genetics at the University of Chicago. He serves as the Acting Chair of the Pharmacological Physiological Sciences and Vice Dean for Basic Science Research. His research primarily focuses on identifying and characterizing heritable mutations that affect the nervous system. His projects encompass genetic mapping of rare (Mendelian) disease mutations and the downstream consequences of studying common heritable disorders using mouse models and genomic bioinformatics approaches. He collaborates with experts in data-mining network topology, systems biology, and statistical genetics to develop novel methods for mapping multi-gene determinants of common neuropsychiatric disorders.
