Egill Rostrup is a Clinical Associate Professor in the Department of Clinical Medicine at the University of Copenhagen, specializing in Psychiatry. His research focuses on understanding the neurobiological mechanisms underlying psychosis and schizophrenia, with particular emphasis on neurotransmitter systems and brain imaging. Dr. Rostrup's research interests center on the complex interplay between dopaminergic, GABAergic, and glutamatergic systems in psychosis. His work investigates how these neurotransmitter systems relate to treatment response in antipsychotic-naïve patients. He employs advanced neuroimaging techniques to study functional and structural brain connectivity in relation to cognitive functions and symptom profiles in first-episode schizophrenia. His research spans both clinical applications and basic neuroscience to bridge the gap between laboratory findings and patient care. His recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on translational psychiatry research, particularly examining how brain connectivity patterns predict treatment outcomes. Dr. Rostrup frequently collaborates on multi-center studies like PSYSCAN, which aims to identify biomarkers for psychosis risk and treatment response. His work has significant implications for developing personalized treatment approaches based on neurobiological markers rather than solely symptom presentation. The research output shows consistent contributions to high-impact journals in psychiatry and neuroscience. Dr. Rostrup has contributed significantly to understanding the trajectory of neurochemical changes during early psychosis treatment and how these relate to clinical outcomes. His research on electroconvulsive therapy has revealed novel insights into how this treatment modality affects brain network connectivity. His work on functional connectivity between auditory networks and medial temporal lobe structures has provided new understanding of the mechanisms underlying auditory verbal hallucinations in schizophrenia.

Elizabeth Grove is a Professor in the Department of Neurobiology within the Biological Sciences Division at the University of Chicago. Her research program focuses on the fundamental mechanisms of cerebral cortical development, with particular emphasis on how signaling molecules establish the neocortical area map and hippocampal development. She has maintained continuous NIH funding since the 1990s as Principal Investigator on multiple research projects. Dr. Grove's research interests center on embryonic and early postnatal development of cerebral cortex in the mouse. Her lab has made significant contributions to understanding how secreted signaling molecules including Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF) 8 and Wnt protein Wnt3a pattern the embryonic cortex. FGF8 establishes the anterior to posterior axis of the neocortical area map, while Wnt3a influences the medial to lateral axis and is required for hippocampus development. Her work bridges molecular genetics, developmental biology, and neuroanatomy to elucidate how complex brain structures emerge from relatively simple embryonic tissues. A major focus of her recent work examines whether mouse-based models of cortical patterning apply to larger, folded (gyrencephalic) brains like those of carnivores and primates. Dr. Grove has received numerous professional honors including a MERIT award from NIMH (2004-2014) and the 2017 Krieg Cortical Kudos Discoverer Award from the Cajal Club. She currently serves on the Board of Reviewing Editors for Science and has previously held editorial positions at the Journal of Neuroscience and Journal of Comparative Neurology. Her research has been consistently funded by NIH grants investigating molecular mechanisms of cerebral cortical patterning, with recent projects focusing on neocortical area map development, olfactory bulb induction, and cortical control over thalamic input. Dr. Grove's laboratory employs sophisticated techniques including mouse genetics, in utero microelectroporation (which her lab pioneered), and single-cell RNA-Seq to investigate cortical development. Her team has discovered important relationships between molecular signaling pathways and functional brain organization, such as the link between BMP signaling deficiency, hippocampal structure, and anxiety-related behaviors.
