Welcome to the Turner Lab

Our research focuses on understanding how brain structure and function relate to genetic, cognitive, and clinical factors, particularly in psychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders. We aim to integrate large‑scale neuroimaging, behavior, genetics, and advanced computational methods to identify the biological pathways that shape mental health.
Research Areas
The brain is an ongoing puzzle! Our research primarily uses neuroimaging techniques to study the brain mechanisms of psychiatric disorders, particularly schizophrenia and psychosis generally, and neuropsychiatric symptoms in neurological disorders. Learn more here.
