The lab aims to elucidate the pathophysiology of psychiatric disorders and develop diagnostic methods and treatments.
AboutAbout the lab
From clinical questions to understanding pathophysiology.
The Psychiatry Lab studies the diagnosis, treatment, causes, and pathophysiology of a wide range of mental disorders, including schizophrenia, depression, bipolar disorder, dementia, and autism spectrum disorder.
Taking into account the needs of patients and their families, the lab aims to resolve everyday clinical questions and to develop diagnostic methods, treatments, and preventive methods based on an understanding of causes and pathophysiology.
The lab takes a comprehensive approach from a bio-psycho-social perspective and places importance on collaboration between clinical research and basic research.
Research projects are carried out in the following areas: genomics, psychotherapy, clinical pharmacology and epidemiology, neuropathology and geriatric psychiatry, child psychiatry, imaging, perinatal psychiatry (pregnant and postpartum women), and basic research.
Key terms
- Genome-wide association study
- An analysis method that examines genetic differences across the entire genome to explore their relationship with a disease.
- Consultation-liaison psychiatry
- Psychiatry that, in collaboration with other clinical departments, cares for the mental health problems of patients who are being treated for physical illnesses.
- Brain bank
- A system that collects and stores human brain tissue and provides it for research on diseases.
ResearchResearch themes
Taking into account the needs of patients and their families, and placing importance on collaboration between clinical and basic research, the lab works to elucidate the causes and pathophysiology of psychiatric disorders. Based on these findings, it aims to develop diagnostic methods, treatments, and preventive methods.
*Illustrative imageExploring psychiatric disorders through the genome
Using genome-wide association studies and whole-genome sequencing analysis, the lab aims to develop new diagnostic methods for psychiatric disorders and methods for predicting treatment response. It also examines genetic variants across the entire genome using T2T long-read sequencing technology.
*Illustrative imagePsychotherapy and consultation-liaison psychiatry
The lab practices psychodynamic psychiatry and consultation-liaison psychiatry. It investigates psychiatric comorbidities in cancer patients and organ transplant patients, aiming for early detection and intervention.
*Illustrative imageClinical pharmacology and epidemiology of psychotropic drugs
The lab conducts clinical and epidemiological studies on the efficacy, safety, and appropriate use of various psychotropic drugs. It also uses real-world data, aiming to generate new evidence.
*Illustrative imageBrain bank and neuropathology
The lab has established the Nagoya Brain Bank Consortium and analyzes a wide range of human brain tissue, from schizophrenia to neurodegenerative diseases. Its goal is to elucidate the pathological background of psychiatric symptoms.
