At the Krembil Family Epigenetics Laboratory, we perform large-scale epigenome-wide studies of schizophrenia and other psychiatric diseases.
We use powerful and informative high-throughput technologies, such as microarrays and next generation sequencing, to identify epigenetic aberrations that are involved in the disease etiology. We also develop new technologies and experimental tools to test and characterize the role of cytosine modifications in the context of human diseases, as well as basic biology. We are a cutting edge lab working towards identifying causal, rather the correlational, factors in human morbid biology.
How To Help
We are doing cutting-edge research to understand how the environment affects schizophrenia genes, and how proteins in your brain could be the key to permanently treating schizophrenia. You can help us with this critical work by making a generous contribution.

The goal and motivation for Dr. Liu's research is to discover a new treatment for human brain disease that is translated into an actual drug. It is a simple goal but of course very challenging to achieve.
