معرفی
Hung-Teh Kao is an Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Human Behavior at the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University. He joined Butler Hospital and Brown University in 2007, combining clinical expertise in psychiatry with molecular neuroscience research.
- MD from University of Manitoba (1980)
- PhD in Molecular Biology from Rockefeller University (1985)
The Laboratory of Molecular Psychiatry, led by Dr. Kao, investigates:
- Molecular pathways in neuropsychiatric diseases
- Telomere shortening in schizophrenia
- Proteomic biomarker discovery
- Synapsin III knockout mice models
- Fluorescent biosensors for phosphorylation
His research spans molecular psychiatry, signal transduction, and animal models. Key projects include studying accelerated aging in schizophrenia via telomere erosion, developing proteomic diagnostics, and exploring synapsin III's role in neurogenesis. The lab uses molecular biology, proteomics, and genetically modified animal models.
Current funding comes from the NIH, supporting postdoctoral research. Collaborations include institutions like Stanford University and Rockefeller University.
