The focus of our lab is the investigation of treatment resistant depression.
The primary goal of our lab is to better understand the brain circuits that mediate resistance to antidepressant therapy in certain individuals. Our research employs both animal models and human brain imaging. Our ultimate objective is to use our findings to develop novel therapeutic approaches for treatment resistant depression.
