Varun Warrier

Varun Warrier is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Cambridge. His research focuses on neurodevelopment genetics, cortical structure and function, and the social and genetic factors influencing neurodevelopment and mental health. He investigates heterogeneity in outcomes to develop targeted support and therapy. His work employs techniques such as genome-wide association studies, polygenic scores, and whole exome sequencing. Warrier's research also explores areas for collaboration, including neuronal induced pluripotent stem cells (IPSCs) and organoids.

Varun Warrier is a researcher at the University of Cambridge focusing on neurodevelopment, genetics, and brain structure and function. His work explores the genetic and environmental factors influencing neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism spectrum disorder, and their impact on brain structure and function across the lifespan. He investigates the interplay between genetic variants and environmental factors, such as childhood maltreatment, on mental and physical health outcomes. His research also examines the relationship between brain structure, cognitive empathy, and neuropsychiatric conditions, with a focus on sex and age differences in social cognition. Warrier's studies contribute to understanding the genetic basis of neurodevelopmental variability and its implications for mental health.
