COPSYCH (COpenhagen Prospective Study on Neuro-PSYCHiatric Development) is a Danish multidisciplinary, translational alliance between Copenhagen Prospective Studies on Asthma in Childhood (COPSAC) and Center for Clinical Intervention and Neuropsychiatric Schizophrenia Research (CINS).
The aim of COPSYCH is to investigate the effect of early life exposures on brain development, cognitive function and psychopathological traits. The alliance is based on the prospective COPSAC2010 cohort consisting of 700 mothers and their children. The mothers were randomized to supplementation with n-3 LCPUFA, vitamin D, or placebo during 3rd trimester of pregnancy.
When the children were 10 years of age they completed a thorough examination of brain development, structure and function including in-depth neuropsychiatric evaluation with cognitive tests, magnetic resonance brain scans and assessment of psychiatric symptoms. In addition, we have immunological and metabolic profiles in the mother and the child. It is our hypothesis that micronutrients such as n-3 LCPUFA and vitamin D, and other early exposures in terms of infections and microbiota can induce a low-grade inflammatory state in children, and thus influence the development of a healthy brain.
We are now looking for a qualified PhD student with previous experience with microbiome analyses and knowledge on neuroscience to study the relationship between the gut microbiota and development of a healthy brain. The candidate will be part of a dynamic cross-disciplinary team of medical doctors, psychologists, biostatisticians, and microbiome researchers.
