| Biomarker evaluation to support clinical translation for schizophrenia Start: 01.09.2021 | Psychoses are a group of disorders of extraordinary heterogeneity. As a result, diagnosis, prognosis and treatment decisions for individual patients pose a major challenge. The project optimizes biomarker signatures of patients at high risk for schizophrenia and patients with defined psychotic disorders. This will be achieved by integrating multimodal patient data and subsequent functional validation of biomarker signatures on patient-derived neurons.

Biomarker evaluation to support clinical translation in schizophrenia Start: 01.06.2021End | Psychosis represents a group of diseases signified by enormous heterogeity. As a consequence, diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment decision for individual patients are pretty challenging. Within the project, we shall optimize biomarker signatures of patients with high risk for schizophrenia and with defined psychotic disease. This will be achieved by integration of multimodal patient data and subsequent validation of biomarker signatures with the help of patient-derived neurons.
