A large-scale study involving Vall d’Hebron confirms the genetic relatedness among 14 different psychiatric disorders and groups them into five new families, paving the way for new treatments targeting their shared underlying genetic causes
Funding has been obtained for 43 projects under the calls for Health R&D&I Projects, Health Technology Development, and Independent Clinical Research
The study, conducted with more than 1,400 people with addictive disorders, delves into the biological mechanisms that connect mental health, life trajectory and educational opportunities.
