Within iCNS, my research focuses on combining different types of data to better understand what goes wrong in the brain in psychiatric disorders. We develop computational and machine learning methods that bring together molecular measurements from human brain tissue, information about individual brain cells, and clinical information from patients. This helps us see which cells are most affected and how they relate to symptoms and diagnoses. By also linking this data to large public datasets and experiments that test how cells respond to drugs or genetic changes, we aim to point to promising new targets for treatment of psychiatric diseases.
