Agnieszka Kalinowski
Clinical Assistant Professor, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
BioI am a translational physician-scientist committed to understanding the pathophysiology of schizophrenia to identify disease-modifying therapeutic interventions. I examined the role of C4 protein activation in clinical samples from individuals with schizophrenia compared to controls, its relationship to C4 CNV and effect on blood brain barrier permeability using in vitro model systems. I contributed to identifying LINE-1 insertions in postmortem brain samples of individuals with schizophrenia and C4 copy number variation (CNV) in pediatric patients with neuropsychiatric symptoms. Since accumulating evidence points to the synapses as the locus of pathology in schizophrenia, I am focusing my current research effort to defining the underlying abnormality in synapses in schizophrenia using a combination of in vitro iPS based model systems and postmortem brain samples, and applying cutting-edge techniques like spatial transcriptomics and array tomography.
