Tuomo Maki-marttunen DSc, MSc, PhD

Tuomo Maki-Marttunen is a principal investigator in Computational Neuropsychiatry at Tampere University. His current primary research topic is the disease mechanisms of schizophrenia. He uses mathematical modeling of single neurons, neuronal networks as well as intracellular signaling pathways to study the contribution of different schizophrenia-associated genes to cellular and network phenotypes. In particular, he is interested in the cellular and network level mechanisms of EEG-measurable phenotypes of schizophrenia, such as increased delta oscillations and mismatch negativity. His previous research topics revolve around the structure and function of neuronal networks and other complex networks and include topics such as dynamics of Boolean networks, structure and dynamics of dissociated neuronal cultures, measures of complexity, and analysis of network connectivities.

He is leading an Academy of Finland starting grant "ModelPsych: Neural model building for psychiatric diseases - From genes to networks" and an EBRAINS voucher project "Startle-network modeling for Schizophrenia research – Insights from subcellular models of neuromodulation (SubSchiz)".
