Overview
Prof Kirov's research focuses on the role of copy number variations (CNVs) and high-throughput sequencing in neuropsychiatric disorders. In his clinical work he supervises the ECT delivery in Cardiff and provides second opinion for affective disorders.
Currently Prof Kirov focuses on analysing the CNVs in all 500,000 participants in the UK Biobank. The CNVs have been called and analysed their role in disease and phenotypic differences, and the results have been published.
The results are also available on my repository page where they are updated when appropriate. Some results can be checked interactively: https://kirov.psycm.cf.ac.uk/

Research
Recruitment: I took part in large collections of parent-offspring trios samples of families with manic depressive and schizophrenic probands. Currently these number about 1120 families. I work on copy number variation (CNVs) in these disorders and have PhD students who use the data: Kimberley Kendall and Matthew Bracher-Smith. This is my main research interest. Several loci have received support through my work on CNVs and this effort is on-going with analysis of de novo occurring CNVs and sequencing, which is now led by Elliott Rees.
ECT research: This is my main clinical research. I am a member of the Royal College Commettee for ECT. Previous interests include lithium therapy and its effect on the thyroid gland and the kidneys.
I have published a book with real stories about ECT, to improve the public perception of this treatment.
