Overview

Jean-Michel Aubry is affiliated with the University of Geneva in Switzerland. Their research primarily focuses on the intersection of medicine and biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology. Within these fields, they contribute extensively to genetics and psychiatric and mental health research, with additional interest in speech and hearing, cognitive neuroscience, and clinical psychology.

Their work centers on complex topics such as bipolar disorder and treatment, genetics and neurodevelopmental disorders, adolescent and pediatric healthcare, genetic associations and epidemiology, genetic syndromes and imprinting, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and functional brain connectivity studies.

Jean-Michel Aubry has coauthored numerous papers with several frequent collaborators, including Azmeraw T. Amare, Liping Hou, Sergi Papiol, Urs Heilbronner, and Franziska Degenhardt. Each of these coauthors has collaborated on at least eight publications with Aubry.

Their research has been published predominantly in specialized venues such as Translational Psychiatry, where five of their papers appear. Other notable publication outlets include Molecular Psychiatry, The British Journal of Psychiatry, Complex Psychiatry, and Biological Psychology.

Recent papers authored or coauthored by Jean-Michel Aubry include:
