The Hjerling-Leffler lab aims at understanding how adolescent development of the nervous system, on a cell type-specific level, influences the etiology of psychiatric disorders. We work with several different approaches including analysis of postmortem samples and mouse models of genetic risk to understand biological convergence. We also combine transcriptomic data with large scale human genetics to investigate the cellular consequences of polygenic heritability in Schizophrenia (SCZ).
