Ongoing studies involve a range of molecular and neuroanatomical techniques. These projects are part of a multi-disciplinary Center developed to study the neurobiological basis for cognitive dysfunction in schizophrenia. Fellows will work in a highly interactive community of neuroscientists from several departments at the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University. Research Scientist Investigating the Neurobiology of Schizophrenia Research Studies focus on abnormalities in the neural circuitry of association cortices and related thalamic nuclei in subjects with schizophrenia and in a primate model system. Emphasis is placed both on defining the pathophysiology of the illness and on the development of novel therapeutic interventions.
