Our symposium brings together world-renowned experts in schizophrenia and mental illness whose areas of expertise are diverse yet complementary. These areas include clinical diagnosis, genetics, molecular neurobiology, brain imaging, psychosocial rehabilitation, and public outreach. Furthermore, an open panel discussion with both our invited speakers and Johns Hopkins experts will be held. Through this symposium, we hope to translate the efforts of the lab bench to the bedside, and eventually to society by discussing and addressing schizophrenia and other mental illnesses from both clinical and scientific standpoints.
