Developing New and Better Ways to Prevent, Detect and Treat Psychiatric Disorders
What We Do
Our research encompasses understanding psychiatric disorders through studies in neurogenetics and neurochemistry; brain imaging; evaluating cognition deficits; understanding the molecular and cellular basis of diseases; and early intervention for people at high risk.
World Class Research
NKI investigators consistently publish in top-tier journals, and their papers are frequently among the most cited in their field. By these measures, NKI ranks among the best research facilities in the world.
Director’s Message
Our focus is to diminish the impact of psychiatric illness by changing the landscape of brain health, and adding to the knowledge base — from genes and neurons, to drugs and receptors, to cultural understanding.
