Title: Bioinformatics for post-traumatic stress
Project Narrative: A recent restructuring of diagnostic and research criteria for psychiatric disorders has been implemented to promote greater understanding of the biological mechanisms involved in the development of complex mental health disorders. The proposed project aims to apply bioinformatics and machine learning analytics to large datasets from trauma-exposed patients to identify and validate dimensions of post-traumatic stress (PTS), relevant biological predictors, and precision treatment response trajectories.
Psychedelic Research Funding
Research into the mechanisms for Psychedelic-Assisted THerapy (PATH) for mental health disorders in the lab is funded through a combination of department intramural funding, grass-roots fundraising efforts through tax-deductible donations to the PATH Fund through the University of Minnesota Foundation, and through the Heffter Research Institute Young Investigator Program awarded to Dr. Nielson (PI).
