Project objective

DataGenChrono brings together 12 international partners from eight countries—world-class experts in human genomics, data science, sleep, chronobiology, strategic science communication and career development—to advance understanding of the genetic foundations of sleep and circadian biology in mental health. The network will train 11 Doctoral Candidates, forming an excellent, collaborative cohort of researchers who will discover the biological bases of mental health addressing disorders that are a major public health challenge in Europe and worldwide. The research programme objectives of DataGenChrono are to:1) Identify novel genetic influences on sleep and circadian dysfunction linked to poor mental health across populations and diagnostic groups.2) Uncover causal relationships between sleep/circadian dysfunction and mental health symptoms across the lifespan. 3) Apply cutting-edge data science, sleep/activity monitoring, and genetically informed approaches to develop novel pathways for sleep and circadian interventions in clinical care and public health.4) Enhance international engagement, visibility and impact through coordinated dissemination, outreach, and stakeholder partnerships, ensuring findings reach scientific, clinical, policy and public audiences. The DataGenChrono programme provides excellent, interdisciplinary research projects within highly attractive institutional environments.Candidates will gain- world-class scientific training- exposure to diverse research and future workplaces- embedded engagement, career development, transferrable skills and networking opportunities across Europe and worldwide.From recruitment to graduation, the DataGenChrono programme ensures the highest-quality PhD training and excellent science, fostering a connected, high-performing cohort that will leave a lasting contribution in both research and the wider community, fully aligned with the European Commission’s Principles for Innovative Doctoral Training.
