The PIXIE Lab

Psychoimmunometabolix & Interaction with the Environment Lab

About us

Welcome to the PIXIE Lab! Our Laboratory focuses on the interaction between biological and psychosocial risk factors in the development of psychiatric disorders. More specifically we are studying the role of inflammation, cortisol, and other hormones and their interaction with stressful experiences in early life in the development of depression and psychosis in both adolescents and adults. Our aim is to develop personalised and more effective prevention and treatment strategies for psychiatric disorders, guided by biomarker and psychosocial factors profiles.
