Dr. Jennie Pouget is an Assistant Professor at the University of Toronto and a Clinician Scientist at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH). Clinically, she works as a staff psychiatrist at the CAMH Slaight Centre Early Intervention Service providing outpatient care for young people experiencing psychosis.

Dr. Pouget completed psychiatry residency at the University of Toronto, in the Department of Psychiatry’s Clinician Scientist Program. Her scientific training includes a Fulbright fellowship in computational biology at Harvard University, combined MD/PhD training at the University of Toronto focused on the genomics of schizophrenia, and a CIHR-funded postdoctoral fellowship analyzing multimodal single-cell resolution transcriptomic and epigenomic data with the Broad Institute of Harvard & MIT. Her research program uses multimodal genomic data to uncover molecular mechanisms of psychosis spectrum disorders, to ultimately help improve the ways we diagnose and treat severe mental illness.
