Molecular mediators, epigenetic modulators and therapeutic targets for cognitive disorders

脑部疾病构成了一个巨大且日益加重的负担。我的研究调查了基因和环境如何共同导致认知障碍，包括痴呆、精神分裂症和自闭症。这项研究将在分子、细胞和行为水平上为这些疾病提供新的见解。我将探讨遗传和环境因素是如何相互作用的，重点是影响一系列神经和精神疾病的心理活动、体育锻炼和压力。

Brain disorders constitute an enormous, and growing, burden. My research investigates how genes and environment combine to cause disorders of cognition, including dementia, schizophrenia and autism. The research will provide new insights into these disorders, at the level of molecules, cells and behaviour. I will explore how genetic and environmental factors interact, with a focus on mental activity, physical exercise and stress, which affect a range of neurological and psychiatric disorders.
