Associate Professor Azmeraw Amare is a Clinical and Genetic Epidemiologist, interested in Precision medicine, pharmacogenomics, and translational medicine, with expertise in using multi-omics approaches — including genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics — to understand the biological basis of complex health conditions related to mental health, pharmacogenomics, cardiometabolic disorders and healthy ageing indices (such as intrinsic capacity) — in multiracial and multi-trait context.
 
He has a multidisciplinary educational background, with academic qualifications in: Medicine (PhD1, the University of Adelaide in Australia); Epidemiology (PhD2, the University of Groningen in the Netherlands); Clinical and Psychosocial Epidemiology (MSc, the University of Groningen in the Netherlands), and Public Health Research Methodology (MPH, Université Libre de Bruxelles in Belgium).
 
A/Professor Amare is the NHMRC Emerging Leadership-1 Investigator (2021-2026), ARC Discovery Early Career Researcher Awardee (2021, deferred) and the US Brain Behaviour Research Foundation NARSAD Young Investigator (2019-2021) and leads the Genetic Epidemiology Research Group based at the Adelaide Medical School, the University of Adelaide.His research, which has been conducted in collaboration with scientists around the world, has sought to find an answer to fundamental questions about how genetics and the interaction between genetic and environmental factors regulate individuals’ risk to mental illness and response to pharmacological treatment. He has led several genetic association studies that identified novel genes underlying; (i) risk to mental illness (Amare AT, et al. Nature: Molecular Psychiatry, 2020), (ii) response to pharmacological treatment (Amare AT, et al. JAMA Psychiatry 2018; 75(1): 65-74.), (iii) variability in cardiovascular traits (Nolte IM, Munoz ML, Tragante V, Amare AT, et al. Nature Communications 2017; 8: 15805) and (iv) the overlapping effects of mental- and physical medical disorders (Amare AT, et al. Translational Psychiatry 2017; 7: e1007).
 
A/Professor Amare has an extraordinary publication track record:
• Authored (co-) 122 articles (46 in the last five years & >21 as a first/last author) and a book chapter, with 89% of them published in prestigious SCImago Q1 journals including in Nature, Nature Communications, Lancet, the New England Journal of Medicine, JAMA Psychiatry and Molecular Psychiatry, 54.4% listed in top 1%, 75% in top 10% (InCites).
• Total career citations > 122,000 (Google Scholar), with H-index of 62, and an average FWCI of 52.59.
 
The impact of his work has been recognised by prizes, honours, scholarships and grant awards, including:
• YOUNG TALL POPPY (2023) winner for excellence in Australian science and science communication by The Australian Institute of Policy & Science (AIPS).
• African South Australian Trailblazer of the Year 2025 by African Communities Council of South Australia.
• Selected for two consecutive years (2019 and 2020) by the Australian Review, as one of Australia’s top 40 Rising stars (best of 5 in Health and Medical Sciences list) among ECRs) under 10 years.
• DOCTORAL RESEARCH MEDAL for outstanding research at PhD level (2018, the University of Adelaide).
• DEAN'S COMMENDATION for Doctoral Thesis Excellence (2018, the University of Adelaide).

Vision and Overall Aim

Our DNA carries the basic instructions needed to reproduce, develop, survive and restore cellular damages. Unpacking DNA information and understanding the mechanisms of how our genes interact with the external environment — and how these interactions are translated into proteins— is vital for designing a personalized approach to treatment, disease prevention and/or health promotion — to ultimately realize the century’s vision of precision medicine. Our group applies state-of-the-art data science techniques to understand the interaction of biological and environmental determinants underlying the variability of human complex phenotypes. Specifically, we focus on the study of MULTI-OMICS factors [genomics (DNA), epigenomes, transcriptomics (RNA), proteomics (Protein), metabolomics and microbiomes] that underlie the risk of complex diseases and influence patient treatment outcomes. s. Our goal is to identify biomarkers for diagnosis, predict treatment outcomes, and inform strategies for health promotion and disease prevention, ultimately reducing disease burden.

Leveraging MULTI-OMICS data obtained from international biobanks, our research applies advanced bioinformatic techniques to explore the “omics” of (a) risk- and pharmacological treatment response to mental health disorders (depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia), (b) ageing traits (frailty, longevity, cognition and intrinsic capacity), (c) neurodegenerative disorders (Alzheimer's disease and other dementias), and (d) mechanism of genetic overlap across physical medical and mental health disorders. 

Areas of research include
  • Pharmaco-OMICS in Psychiatry — Investigating how OMICS factors (genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics,
    proteomics and /or metabolomics) influence treatment outcomes, including response, remission, resistance, polypharmacy, and adverse drug reactions in patients with mental illness, and applying this knowledge to optimize treatment strategies.
  • Psychiatric Genomics — Studying the genetic underpinnings of major psychiatric disorders such as depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia.
  • Genetic overlap across physical medical and mental health disorders — Uncovering shared genetic mechanisms that contribute to comorbidities between mental and physical health conditions.
  • Genomics of healthy ageing traits — Investigating the OMICS basis of healthy ageing trajectory (human intrinsic capacity) and the relationship of human intrinsic capacity (IC) with physical and mental health endpoints, including disability, morbidity, and mortality
  • Diversity Genomics — Applying OMICS science to improve health outcomes among culturally and linguistically diverse populations.
  • Epidemiology of Mental Illness — Understanding population-level patterns, risk factors, and outcomes of mental health disorders to inform effective clinical interventions.
  • Pharmacoepidemiology — Evaluating the use and effects of psychiatric medications in large populations to inform safer and more effective treatment practices.

“We have a place for Honours / PhD/ Masters / Mphil students who are interested in big data analytics — both multi-omics (genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics) & clinical data using python or R programming languages. Students with a quantitative science background such as bioinformatics, computer science, mathematics, physics, engineering, Epidemiology/Biostatistics etc would be appropriate.”
