Our research is directed toward understanding the neurobiology of neuropsychiatric
disorders such as schizophrenia, depression and Alzheimer's disease, and to
achieve the early diagnosis and optimal treatment of these disorders. Clinical
and basic approaches are integrated using in vivo and
in vitro imaging techniques. We aim to identify diagnostic molecular markers
for neuropsychiatric disorders, leading to drug discovery and novel therapeutic
treatments.
