My second career as a schizophrenia researcher will focus on infectious agents as a cause. It will include the collection of serial sera, cerebrospinal fluid, functional magnetic resonance imaging, and diffusion tensor imaging on a cohort of affected individuals over 20 years. Since I believe that the initial transmission of these agents occurs in childhood, I will also follow a cohort of children from birth to age 20. Additional projects will focus on rheumatoid arthritis, geographic case clusters, immigrants, and epidemiology.
我的第二个职业是精神分裂症研究员,我的研究方向将集中在感染因子作为病因上。这将包括在 20 多年的时间里,对一组受影响的个体进行连续血清、脑脊液、功能磁共振成像和扩散张量成像的采集。因为我相信这些病原体的最初传播发生在儿童时期,所以我也将从出生到 20 岁的儿童队列进行跟踪。其他项目将集中在类风湿性关节炎、地理病例群、移民和流行病学上。
