Immuno-NeuroPsychiatry Network

Exploring the role of immune dysregulation in neuropsychiatric disorders. The Network aims to identify biomarkers and develop novel treatments for conditions like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and neurodegenerative diseases. Key goals include standardizing patient assessments, evaluating anti-inflammatory therapies, and fostering collaborative research. The Network strives to bridge basic and clinical research, advancing precision medicine in immune-related psychiatric conditions.

History

The Network was founded in 2018 to address the link between inflammation and neuropsychiatric disorders. By combining clinical and laboratory research, it aims to advance our understanding and treatment of immune-related psychiatric disorders.
