Associate Professor at the Columbia University Medical Center
Gorazd Rosoklija is an Associate Professor at Columbia University Medical Center, where his research bridges neuroscience, molecular psychiatry, and neurogenetics. His work focuses on the neurobiology of major depression and suicide, employing multi-omics profiling of the human hippocampus neurogenic niche and mitochondrial respiratory capacity mapping. Recent breakthroughs include a human brain map of mitochondrial diversity (Nature, 2025) and identifying a rare GPR156 variant linked to depression that induces habenula hyperactivity in mice (PNAS, 2025). His investigations integrate transcriptomic and genetic analyses to elucidate mitochondrial dysregulation in schizophrenia, alongside developing scalable light-sheet microscopy for cleared tissue imaging.
