Thematik

Nowadays, psychiatric illnesses are becoming more common, partly due to increasing stress (eg anxiety, depression) and partly due to an aging society (eg dementia). Unfortunately, their therapy is not solved. A better understanding of the underlying mechanisms can bring us closer to discovering new drug targets. To do this, as well as testing new drugs, appropriate animal models and tests are required. Students will be able to get acquainted with the classification of psychiatric diseases, their main symptoms, and get a comprehensive picture of possible preclinical models and available as well as new methods under development. Special focus will be given to new research areas such as viral vectors, opto- and pharmacogenetics, epigenetics and "big data" and we will present their potential role in diagnosis and therapy.
