Laboratory for Behavioral Systems Neuroscience, School of Medicine and Public Health, University of Wisconsin-Madison (Dr. John-Paul Yu, P.I.)Identification of molecular features of neuropsychiatric diseases combined with advanced neuroimaging techniques with an emphasis in autism spectrum disorder and schizophrenia is the focus of the Yu Laboratory. Neuroscience research and imaging uncovers microstructure changes in the brain linked to psychiatric illnesses and is then associated with underlying transcriptomic, proteomic, metabolomic, and synaptogenic changes.Responsibilities and accomplishments: •Perform experiments using molecular biology and imaging techniques•Train graduate students and medical fellows in laboratory techniques•Write and establish laboratory protocols
