John McGrath has discovered that vitamin D during brain development is associated with psychosis. Just as the use of folate decreased the incidence of spina bifida, vitamin D supplementation could decrease the incidence of psychosis. Using international samples, McGrath will search for modifiable risk factors for mental illness related to nutrition, infection and stress. He will use the latest methods from genetics to explore modifiable risk factors and undertake clinical trials.

John McGrath 发现大脑发育过程中的维生素 D 与精神病有关。正如叶酸的使用可以降低脊柱裂的发病率一样，补充维生素 D 也可以降低精神病的发病率。麦格拉思将利用国际样本寻找与营养、感染和压力相关的精神疾病的可改变的危险因素。他将使用最新的遗传学方法来探索可改变的危险因素并进行临床试验。
