Welcome to the Rowan University Schizophrenia-Spectrum Research Lab Website!
Our lab focuses on the schizophrenia spectrum, including schizotypy. We are interested in understanding what factors contribute to the development or maintenance of schizophrenia spectrum symptoms. In examining schizotypy, we have looked at neurocognitive functioning, lifestyle and health behaviors, the influence of adverse childhood experiences, the formation and maintenance of delusional beliefs, and reward sensitivity. For clinical research, we have formed connections with a number of local outpatient treatment centers. Most recently we have received grants to examine interventions for Parkinsonian symptoms for those with schizophrenia and a novel smoking cessation intervention.
