Introduction

Hilary Coon’s research profile is associated with the University of Utah School of Medicine and emphasizes genetic, epidemiological, and population-based approaches to suicide mortality risk. University materials describe her work as addressing genetic and environmental factors associated with complex psychiatric conditions, with research focused on risks leading to suicide mortality. [1]

Research Profile

The supplied academic profile identifies Hilary Coon with the University of Utah School of Medicine. Her stated subject area is suicide mortality risk. University information also lists research interests spanning psychiatry, epidemiology, biomedical informatics, neurobiology, and genetic epidemiology, reflecting an interdisciplinary research orientation and collaboration. [1]

Research Contributions

Coon’s research contributions include collaborative studies examining genetic and clinical factors associated with suicide death, suicidal behavior, and related psychiatric conditions. Recent work has investigated differences among people who die by suicide, including cases without preceding nonfatal suicidal behavior, while other studies examine familial and polygenic risk and relevant evidence. [1] [2]

Publications

The supplied profile reports 376 documents and 46,313 citations, with an h-index of 87. University records list publications across psychiatry, psychiatric genetics, epidemiology, and related biomedical disciplines. Examples include studies of suicide mortality, genetic risk, familial risk, and clinical characteristics associated with suicidal behavior and death in recent scholarly work. [1]

Research Impact

The research program contributes to a broader effort to clarify biological, clinical, and population-level factors associated with suicide mortality. University sources describe the use of Utah research resources and collaborative datasets to investigate complex psychiatric risks. Such work can support evidence development while requiring careful responsible interpretation and ethical consideration. [1]

Award Suitability

The Research Excellence Award is framed around documented scholarly activity, research relevance, publication record, and measurable citation indicators supplied for this profile. Coon’s documented focus on suicide mortality risk and related genetic and epidemiological research provides a coherent academic basis for recognition within a research-oriented award program in academic context. [1]

Conclusion

Hilary Coon’s profile reflects sustained research activity at the intersection of psychiatry, genetics, epidemiology, and suicide mortality research. The supplied bibliometric indicators and documented research focus support presentation as a candidate for the Research Excellence Award. Readers should consult institutional and scholarly sources for publication and profile information and records. [1] [2]
