SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Upstate Medical University in Syracuse will use more than $786,000 in federal funding for research on schizophrenia.
The funding is available through the National Institute of Mental Health, a division of the National Institute of Health (NIH), the office of U.S. Representative John Katko (R–Camillus) said.
Upstate Medical’s laboratory of behavioral and psychiatric genetics will use the money to conduct a study on the genetic factors that contribute to schizophrenia. Results from this study “could help” medical professionals better identify and treat schizophrenia, Katko’s office said.
