STEP Program Research Initiatives and Involvement

Clinical Trials (Actively Recruiting)

We are currently recruiting for the studies below. If you are interested in participating in a research study, please contact Nina Levine.

  • Study of Brain Function Across the Lifespan

    PI: Todd Constable • HIC#: 2000020891

    The aims of this study are threefold: 1. To use human neuroimaging techniques to characterize the neural bases of fundamental cognitive processes, 2. To measure individual differences in neural circuitry underlying these processes and their implications for behavior and clinical features, and 3. To develop a data acquisition and analysis pipeline that optimally and comprehensively characterizes these differences and uses them to predict measures of behavioral and clinical significance.

  • RCT: Effect of MitoQ in early schizophrenia

    PI: Vinod Srihari • HIC#: 2000038056

    Assess the effect of MitoQ on neurocognition, psychiatric symptoms, functioning, and exosomal biomarkers (miR-137 and COX6A2) in individuals with early-phase schizophrenia-spectrum disorders (E-SSD).

  • Learning Healthcare System (LHS) for new onset psychotic disorders

    PI: Vinod Srihari • HIC#: 2000027781

    This project seeks to implement and test the feasibility of an informatics platform (ONE), populated by patient data from the STEP Clinic.
