Research: 

This laboratory's research is aimed at finding genes involved in behavioral and neurological and psychiatric diseases, especially related to depression and drug abuse. With the Human Genome sequenced, unprecedented numbers of genetic variants identified, untangling these risk factors is now possible and has started in my laboratory. This includes work on the phenotypes, on novel techniques to score genetic variants in a high throughput manner, and on correlating microarray expression data with genotypes.
