H.T. Kao received his M.D. from the University of Manitoba in Canada and a Ph.D. in Molecular Biology from Rockefeller University. He completed his psychiatry residency at Stanford University and joined the Butler Hospital faculty at Brown University in 2007. His research focuses on the molecular pathways that predispose individuals to neuropsychiatric diseases using a diverse range of experimental approaches, including molecular and cellular biology, proteomics, and animal models. Kao is particularly interested in the molecular bases of major psychiatric disorders, such as the accelerated aging observed in schizophrenia, and the molecular profiling of major psychiatric disorders to aid in diagnosis. His laboratory is currently investigating the expression of the synapsin III protein and its implications in schizophrenia and behaviors linked to psychiatric disorders. Kao's work has been supported by NIH grants, and he is keen on using novel biosensors to explore cellular signaling pathways.
