Our research efforts are primarily directed toward understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms of major depression through translational studies in the human postmortem brain and in rodent models of the illness.
Our second research focus is directed towards understanding the molecular bases and genetic contribution of human brain aging in the development of neuropsychiatric disorders and late life function declines (health, cognition and emotionality).
