Translating Genetic Discoveries into Psychiatric Care
Many serious mental illnesses, including schizophrenia, are influenced in part by genetics. X-Lab studies how genetic differences influence the risk, presentation, and treatment of these conditions.
Biological approaches to understand schizophrenia and clinical outcomes
Antipsychotic medications are essential treatments for schizophrenia, but many people do not respond adequately or experience significant side effects. X-Lab studies the biological mechanisms that help explain why treatments work well for some individuals but not for others.
Youth mental health and psychiatric risk prediction
Many mental health conditions begin in adolescence or sometimes childhood, and early symptoms may signal increased risk for later psychiatric illness. X-Lab studies patterns of symptoms in young people to better understand how mental health problems develop and how risk can be identified earlier.
