Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified multiple disease-associated genetic variations across different psychiatric disorders raising the question of how these genetic variants relate to the corresponding pharmacological treatments. In this talk, I will outline our work investigating whether functional information from a range of open bioinformatics datasets such as protein interaction network (PPI), brain eQTL, and gene expression pattern across the brain can uncover the relationship between GWAS-identified genetic variation and the genes targeted by current drugs for psychiatr
