Bio
 

Jurjen J. Luykx is a clinical scientist affiliated with Maastricht University Medical Center, University Medical Center Utrecht, GGnet and Brainclinics in The Netherlands. He has a research background in psychiatric genetics and a broad interest in neurobiological, clinical, environmental, and societal issues related to psychiatry (including sustainable health care and inclusiveness topics). Several days of the week he works as a clinical psychiatrist, consulting patients with difficult-to-treat psychosis and other types of severe mental illness. He enjoys conducting collaborative work in teams of researchers and clinicians, focusing on clinical trials, real-world studies and applied neuropsychiatric genetics (e.g. genetic epidemiology and cell type enrichment analysis). His overarching aim is to translate research findings to patients in the real world and convey such findings to medical students and residents. He believes this mission can only be achieved in collaborations and by means of a sustained focus on human skills.
