Nikita Kolosov

Nikita Kolosov's research focuses on human genetics, using large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to identify genetic variants linked to diseases such as autoimmune hypothyroidism, depression, lichen planus, and hypertension. This work often involves studying genetically diverse populations, including a Russian cohort, and developing tools like polygenic scores (statistical summaries of many genetic variants) to predict individual disease risk. A recurring theme is building public software and platforms that let researchers and clinicians interpret this genetic risk information.

Publication output has grown from essentially none in the late 2010s to a steady pace of about 2-4 papers per year in recent years, including a notable cluster expected in 2026.
