EmeritusResearch Interests:Clinical trials in Breast Cancer
- Julio Licinio, MD/PhD
Distinguished ProfessorResearch Interests:Dr. Licinio's work has examined the link between obesity and depression, looking into how anti-depressants can cause weight gain. Most recently, he co-led, with Dr. Ma-Li Wong, a study with a team of international researchers providing evidence of a strong link between schizophrenia and the organisms that reside in the digestive tract. The team found through genetic sequencing, vast differences of the gut microbiomes found in those with schizophrenia. These findings could transform the way schizophrenia is treated. He is also founder and current editor-in-chief of Molecular Psychiatry.

ProfessorResearch Interests:Intraop neuromonitoring, neuroprotection, brain ischemic injury and introperative fluid managmeent
- Hui-Hao Lin, PhD
Assistant ProfessorResearch Interests:Neural circuit mechanisms of feeding regulation in Drosophila
- Chunyu Liu, PhD
ProfessorResearch Interests:Dr. Liu’s laboratory is studying how genetic variants impact gene expression, protein abundance and various levels of regulatory networks, ultimate influence the risks of developing major psychiatric disorders, treatment responses, as well as related psychological, behavioral traits. Funded by NIH, his current projects are about regulatory networks in genomics, epigenomics, and proteomics of postmortem brains. Multiple advanced sequencing-based technologies, cell biology and bioinformatics methods are commonly used in this lab to facilitate discovery of risk genes and pathways.
