Our research programs

One of the primary goals of academic psychiatry is to expand our understanding of psychiatric illness and improve psychiatric care through research. Research in our department is carried out by more than 30 federally-funded faculty working on research programs including investigation of basic mechanisms of brain function, translational research into the underlying causes of psychiatric disorders, clinical studies in adult and child psychiatry, forensic psychiatry, and methods for improving medical education and clinical practice.
