Associate Professor Zeynep Yilmaz's project aims to examine the interplay between genes, environment, and biomarkers measured at birth to predict eating disorder risk and course. Through the increase in the number of samples, as well as the new addition of immune and neurotrophic markers to existing metabolic, genetic, and register data, this project has the potential to identify distinct subgroups of individuals with eating disorders based on underlying biology, ultimately informing precision treatment and prevention strategies.
