Neurobiological ‘risk’ and ‘resilience’ biomarkers of severe mental illness [ 2016 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Christos Pantelis (Principal investigator)

Brief description Mental disorders of childhood (schizotypal disorder, autism spectrum disorders) and adolescence (psychoses, schizophrenia) represent a major burden of disease. We will use sophisticated neuroimaging to examine trajectories of brain growth from childhood to adulthood and identify factors (stress, drugs, inflammation, genes) relevant to risk and resilience to developing these disorders. This will lead to novel early interventions to reduce or ameliorate these conditions.
