Thomas G. Schulze (born May 31, 1969 in Nuremberg ) is a German psychiatrist (specialist in psychiatry and psychotherapy). He is a professor at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich , where he holds the chair for psychiatric phenomena and genomics . Linked to this is the management of the institute of the same name (IPPG) at the clinic, which includes a special outpatient department for the treatment of patients with bipolar disorder .

Life

Thomas Schulze studied medicine from 2000 to 2007 at the Universities of Nuremberg-Erlangen , Barcelona ( Catalonia ), University of North Carolina ( Chapel Hill , NC , USA ) and Wake Forest University ( Winston-Salem , NC , USA). He received his doctorate in 1997 on the subject of “Detection of chromosomal mosaics in humans in oral mucous membrane cells by means of interphase nuclear fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH)” at the Erlangen Institute for Human Genetics. In 2014 he took over the chair for Psychiatric Phenomics and Genomics and the management of the newly founded IPPG at the Clinic of the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich . Before that he was at the University of Bonn (1997-2000), at the University of Chicago ( IL , USA; 2000-2002), at the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) in Bethesda ( MD , USA; 2002; 2007-2010) , at the Central Institute for Mental Health (ZI) in Mannheim (2003–2007) and at the University Medical Center Göttingen (2010–2014).

research

His research focuses on the interactions between genes and the environment in mental illnesses such as bipolar (manic-depressive) illness, schizophrenia or depression . The aim of this research is to identify mental illnesses earlier in the future based on comprehensive knowledge of biological and non-biological factors and to be able to treat them more individually than before. So z. B. the possible success of a therapy and the possible side effects of drugs for each individual patient can be better assessed in advance. In interdisciplinary working groups made up of clinical researchers and basic scientists, individual disease courses are examined over the long term on a descriptive and biological level. This research is lengthy, methodologically complex and resource-intensive. Schulze is therefore fully networked nationally and internationally in a multidisciplinary manner and works in several collaborations. Schulze has (co-) published more than 200 scientific articles and has received several awards in his field.
