THE GENETICS OF PSYCHIATRIC DISEASES
Our research focuses on identifying genes associated with psychiatric disorders. We use genomic techniques like sequencing to study the genetic basis of conditions like autism, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia. We analyze both common and rare genetic variants to understand their roles in these disorders. Our work has led to the discovery of several susceptibility genes and pathways related to bipolar disorder. We also collaborate with international efforts to study the genetics of psychiatric disorders and their response to treatments.
