Ó³»­´«Ã½

On Tuesday, July 22, the Ó³»­´«Ã½ announced an unprecedented commitment of $650 million from philanthropist Ted Stanley to support psychiatric research. Stanley’s gift – the largest ever in psychiatric research and among the largest for scientific research in general – generated a great deal of coverage in the media.

In addition, the announcement of Stanley’s commitment coincided with the publication of a paper in which Ó³»­´«Ã½ researchers and a team of international collaborators revealed the discovery of more than 100 regions of the human genome associated with the risk of developing schizophrenia. These findings may point the way to biological mechanisms and pathways, and could eventually lead to new therapeutic approaches.
