Bio
Dr Derek Morris is a geneticist and his area of expertise is the identification of risk genes for psychiatric disorders. He graduated with a B.Sc. in Biotechnology from the National University of Ireland (NUI), Galway in 1998. In 2001, he completed his PhD in molecular genetics at Cardiff University. He subsequently joined the Neuropsychiatric Genetics Research Group in Trinity College Dublin (TCD) as a research fellow, was awarded a Health Research Board Postdoctoral Career Development Research Fellowship in 2003 and was appointed Lecturer in Molecular Psychiatry in 2006. Using Science Foundation Ireland funding, he set up TrinSeq, the first next-generation sequencing lab in Ireland in 2008. In 2013, Dr Morris moved to NUI Galway where he is Lecturer in Biomedical Science and a PI in the Neuroimaging and Cognitive Genomics (NICOG) Centre. His group has built on the genome-wide association studies (GWAS) by taking new risk genes forward for in-depth phenotypic analysis to understand how they contribute to abnormal brain function and illness. Genetic studies in the areas of epigenetic regulation, cognition, neuroimaging and numerous collaborations have produced a series of senior author manuscripts for Dr Morris in high impact psychiatry journals (e.g. Molecular Psychiatry, Biological Psychiatry) and genetics journals (e.g. American Journal of Human Genetics, Human Molecular Genetics). Dr Morris is involved in international consortia undertaking GWAS that have identified new risk genes for psychosis and related phneotypes. This high-profile work has resulted in multiple publications in Nature, Science and Cell. Involvement in these consortia has helped him establish a world-wide network of collaborators. In total, Dr Morris has 221 peer-reviewed publications (29 as first or senior author) that have generated 39,227 citations (29,255 since 2015) and his h index is 76 (Google Scholar 2020). Dr Morris is a former President of the Irish Society of Human Genetics (2014-16). He was awarded the NUIG President’s Award for Research Excellence in 2017 and was ranked in the top 1% of Highly Cited Researchers for 2018 (Clarivate Analytics).
