Lundbeck Foundation Fellowship

June 2020, Bjarni Vilhjalmsson has received a Lundbeck Fellowship. With anonymised health data, social data and DNS information on 130,000 Danes born during the period 1980-2005, the iPSYCH database is a unique treasure of knowledge. Bjarni Vilhjalmsson will, during the next five years, aim at developing new instruments for analyses that can handle the many various data in a way that harvests the maximum knowledge on psychiatric diseases like schizophrenia and depression.
