Our lab is conducting brain imaging research studies investigating people's behavior. We are looking for people between the ages of 18 and 65 to be study participants. As a schizophrenia study participant, you will be asked to complete a set of self-report questionnaires probing personality traits. You will also complete a number of computer-based…
We are conducting a research study on the effect of high insulin levels on the buildup of excessive liver fat ("fatty liver disease") in people at risk for type 2 diabetes. We are seeking adult volunteers, ages 18-65, who have obesity with a body mass index of 30-45, and have been diagnosed with, or are at risk for, prediabetes and metabolic…
In this study, we are trying to learn more about the symptoms of psychosis, specifically to learn how alterations in the brain may produce certain experiences (including voice hearing or auditory hallucinations) that are common in people with psychosis or schizophrenia. The study involves clinical interviews, computer tests, and magnetic resonance imaging (…
We are conducting an academic study to understand how people solve problems related to health. In the study, participants will be presented with a hypothetical problem related to diabetes self-management and asked to use an online health application to explore information and propose a solution. We invite all participants between 18 and 65 years old, who…

Our lab is conducting a series of research studies that investigate how specific brain regions are related to functioning in work, school, and in other social situations. As a study participant, you will be asked to complete clinical and neuropsychological assessments, an eye-tracking task, and a non-invasive MRI scan. Study participants earn between $15-50…
This study plans to learn more about an investigational new drug called lumateperone tosylate (ITI-007) and may help us find new types of treatment for schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder.
Our clinic is currently participating in the Brave Trial, a clinical research study for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). This study is being conducted to learn whether a study drug can improve motor functions in boys with DMD. If your child takes part, he'll receive at no cost: study drug or placebo, study-related procedures, reimbursement for…
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the brain wave patterns are improved after administration of CVN058 compared to placebo in subjects with schizophrenia. The study uses electroencephalography (EEG) to measure naturally occurring brain waves as you listen to recorded sounds.
Moving forward in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. A clinical research study assessing the safety and effectiveness of an investigational product in people with Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease experiencing muscle cramps is now enrolling. Participation is entirely voluntary. Contacting us does not mean that you are required to take part in this study. If you…
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of different doses and durations of TV-46000 given by subcutaneous (under the skin) injection as compared to placebo for use as a potential maintenance in adults with schizophrenia.
We will enroll and randomly assign 30 sedentary, healthy overweight men and women to two groups. Participants will either start by consuming peanuts for 4 weeks, and then go on to exercise at high intensity intervals (HIIT) for 4 weeks, or the reverse order. We will test and compare the effect of peanuts and exercise on inflammation and heart rate…
In this study, we are trying to learn more about the symptoms of schizophrenia, specifically to learn how abnormalities in the brain may produce certain experiences that are common in patients with schizophrenia. The study involves clinical interviews, clinical chart review, computer tests, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans.
This study is for infants that have been genetically diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) and are currently not showing any signs or symptoms of the disease. The purpose of this study is to see whether ISIS 396443 has any effects (good or bad) on infants with SMA (who do not yet show signs or symptoms of the disease) and to see if ISIS 396443 can…
We are currently looking for overweight (body mass index 25 kg/m2) men and women, age 18-65 y, to participate in a sleep study. To participate you must have been diagnosed with Obstructive Sleep Apnea within the past year, and have been prescribed continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) but not have not yet started treatment. This is a 2-phase,…
The purpose of this study is to find out if eteplirsen can help people with the muscle disorder called Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) and find out if eteplirsen is safe to take without causing too many side effects. Eteplirsen is an investigational (experimental) drug and can only be used in research studies. DMD is caused by a mutation (a change) in the…
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and effectiveness of a study drug called ISIS-396443 when using it to treat children with later-onset spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). SMA is a neuromuscular disease that causes a degeneration (a breakdown) of the motor neurons in the spinal cord, resulting in a weakening of the muscles in…
