Researcher profile
Alasdair Barr
The central focus of my research is mental health and addictions, with a particular emphasis on psychosis and the medications used in its treatment. My research program is based on a multidisciplinary and translational approach that spans from "bench to bedside," as I maintain productive research programs in both clinical and related preclinical research.
