Neural Circuits and Immunity in Psychosis Laboratory

 Areas of interest

Cartoon of a woman's head and a mouse's head.

We pursue three inter-related research directions

Computational psychiatry

We work on a cross-species approach to define computational-behavioural biomarkers that predict how psychosis patients respond to treatment.
 

Neural circuits

We study neural circuit mechanisms of psychosis-like perception to find new treatment targets for psychosis.
 

Immune signals

We investigate how immune signals contribute to psychotic symptoms to identify new biological mechanisms underlying psychosis.
