Project Summary

Ridha Joober, M.D., Ph.D. (Young Investigator 2000) of Douglas Hospital Research Centre, will use animal models to identify genes that regulate the response of the dopamine system to environmental stress and challenge with drugs. These animal models will also be used to identify genes that are relevant to therapeutic response to antipsychotics. This work may have implications for the discovery of genes that could cause schizophrenia, or other psychiatric disorders.
