Pritzker Neuropsychiatric Disorders Research Consortium

The Pritzker Neuropsychiatric Disorders Research Consortium is a collaborative research enterprise by leading academic and scientific institutions including research groups at the University of Michigan, Stanford University, the University of California at Irvine, the University of California at Davis, Cornell University, and the HudsonAlpha Institute. The consortium is focused on discovering the neurobiological and genetic causes of three major psychiatric disorders, major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, and identifying biomarkers for better diagnosis and novel targets for treatment.[1][2][3]
