Panos Roussos, MD, PhD, is the Endowed Professor of Translational Psychiatry and Professor of Psychiatry, Genetics and Genomic Sciences at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, where he directs the Center for Disease Neurogenomics. He also leads the Center for Precision Medicine and Translational Therapeutics at the James J. Peters VA Medical Center. Dr. Roussos’s research integrates genetics, single-cell and spatial genomics, and network biology to decode cell-type-specific mechanisms in the human brain, to guide therapeutic discovery for neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative diseases. He is a principal investigator in multiple large-scale consortia, including PsychENCODE, GENESIS, and PsychAD, and has pioneered multi-ancestry genomic approaches to improve target discovery and therapeutic translation.
🔬 Event Date | October 17th @ 11:00 AM ET
The Hellenic Bioscientific Association of the USA (HBA-USA) is excited to host Dr. Panos Roussos, a leading expert in neurogenomics, for our next Meet the Professional event.
Dr. Roussos will present on:
“Decoding Cell-Type-Specific Mechanisms in the Human Brain to Guide Therapeutic Discovery”
Learn how advanced single-cell and spatial genomics technologies are revolutionizing our understanding of neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative diseases—bringing us closer to precision therapies.
Dr. Roussos will also share his inspiring journey—from his early training in Greece to leading a multidisciplinary neurogenomics center in New York—highlighting key lessons in science, collaboration, and mentorship.
🎯 This is a valuable opportunity for students, researchers, and professionals across academia, biotech/pharma, and healthcare to engage with a thought leader whose work and mentorship have significantly impacted the field.
