Center for Psychiatric Health and Genomics (CPHG) - Our goal is to learn more about contributing factors to health and well-being. We hope our research will lead to discoveries not only in genetics but also in disease definition, assessment, and treatment. A better understanding of a person’s genetic code, and the effects of one’s environment can improve maintenance of good health.
