Research Assistant, Medicine, Medical Sciences & Nutrition

Schizophrenia is a severe illness associated with long-term mental health conditions affecting one in a hundred people and nearly 220,000 people in the UK alone. Antipsychotic drugs, which can have limited efficacy and major adverse side effects, are the only treatments available. While genes increasing the risk of developing schizophrenia have been identified, their cellular impact are however not always fully understood. Uncovering the function of these risk factors is therefore crucial to formulate new hypotheses to improve the treatments of schizophrenia.
