Dr Bousman leads the Gene-Environment Neuropsychiatry (GENe) research group within the Melbourne Neuropsychiatry Centre. The overarching goal of his research is to make personalised psychiatry/mental health a reality. His studies are collaborative, multidisciplinary, and focus on: (1) Discovery of distinct variation and environmental interaction with genotypic, transcriptomic, and/or proteomic networks/pathways associated with mental illness onset, course, and treatment response, (2) Development of ‘omic’-based clinical decision-making tools for use in screening, diagnosis, staging, prognosis, and/or treatment of mental illness, and (3) Evaluation of the efficacy/utility of ‘omic’-based decision-making tools in clinical practice. In addition to his primary appointment in Psychiatry, Dr. Bousman is an Adjunct Research Fellow within the Centre of Human Psychopharmacology at Swinburne University of Technology and holds Honorary Research Fellow appointments within the University of Melbourne Department of General Practice as well as the Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health.
