AboutAbout the lab
Facing mental illness at the intersection of brain science and social science
The lab studies psychiatric disorders with adult onset, such as schizophrenia and mood disorders, from an international perspective, sharing a research structure with the psychiatry division at Johns Hopkins University in the United States.
Psychiatry, which deals with mental illness, sits at the intersection of brain science as a natural science and social science, which includes the study of culture.
Combining perspectives from neuroscience and global health epidemiology, and collaborating with various groups in Japan and abroad, the lab studies psychiatric disorders from multiple angles, from basic research to clinical practice.
