Dr Antonio Pardinas
Genetic Epidemiologist | Centre for Neuropsychiatric Genetics and Genomics, Cardiff University

Dr Antonio Pardinas is a genetic epidemiologist whose research focuses on the contribution of genetic factors to the development of psychiatric disorders. Based at the Centre for Neuropsychiatric Genetics and Genomics (CNGG) at Cardiff University, he works closely with Professor James Walters on treatment-resistant schizophrenia (TRS) — a highly disabling form of the disorder and a major global burden in terms of years lived with disability.

Antonio is a core member of the Psychosis Research Theme at Cardiff and an active collaborator with the Schizophrenia Working Group of the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium, contributing to international efforts to advance understanding of the genetic architecture of severe mental illness. He is also involved in the development of the CRIS (Clinical Record Interactive Search) system, in collaboration with the National Centre for Mental Health (NCMH) and Cardiff and Vale University Health Board, supporting real-world data integration for mental health research.
