Elucidating the pathological role and predictive value of mental health disorder risk genes [ 1/1/2021 - 12/31/2025 ]

Research Grant

Brief description Mental health disorders such as schizophrenia and depression are common and often debilitating conditions. The genes in our DNA play a large role in who develops these disorders and many risk genes have been identified. We will investigate when and how these risk genes are “switched on” to work out how they cause disease and to accurately predict who is at high risk of developing a mental health disorder. These advances will help us to understand disease causation and to improve treatments.
