Mental disorders, including mood disorders and schizophrenia, represent some of the most pressing health challenges in today's society. Despite their prevalence, the intricate molecular mechanisms driving these disorders remain largely unexplored. At the forefront of this challenge is Molecular Psychiatry, an innovative field that merges molecular neurobiology with psychiatric disorder research. This exciting area of neuroscience offers fresh perspectives in understanding the complex pathogenesis of various psychiatric conditions.
Our lab is dedicated to deepening our understanding of the molecular foundations of major psychiatric disorders. We employ a range of cutting-edge techniques, from biochemistry and molecular biology to cell biology, pharmacology, genetics, and behavioral science. Our research aims to uncover new molecular targets for treatment and broaden our comprehension of higher brain functions. Through our work, we aspire to make significant contributions to mental health treatment and understanding.
