A Brief Overview

At the Brain-Gene-Development Lab led by Aaron Alexander-Bloch, we are a group of computational scientists who integrate multimodal brain imaging, genomics, and behavior of children and adults at CHOP and the University of Pennsylvania. Our goal is to translate the highly polygenic risk for psychosis and other neurodevelopmental psychiatric disorders into pathophysiologic mechanisms, to inform the development of new treatments for individuals with mental illness. We believe in a team science approach and work closely with other labs within the Lifespan Brain Institute at CHOP and Penn, national, and international collaborators.
