Integrated omics approach to psychiatric disorders

University of Bradford Faculty of Life Sciences

Research Group: Chemistry and Biosciences

In psychiatry, the selection of antipsychotics and antidepressants is led by a trial-and-error approach. The prescribing of these medications is complicated by sub-optimal efficacy and high rates of adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Read more
