RESEARCH INTERESTS

Forensic psychiatry (In the area of forensic psychiatry, main research interests lie in violence risk assessment in psychiatric patients, as well as biological and genetics researches on aggressive behavior in schizophrenic patients)

RESEARCH PROJECTS

2009 – Present

· Focus on violence risk assessment in psychiatric patients, especially schizophrenic patients.

· Participating in forensic psychiatry practice, such as assessment of criminal responsibility, the patients’ ability to stand trial, and other clinical services for mentally disordered offenders.

· Designing and developing the project (No.81001353) supported by National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC). Selecting several SNPs and CNVs located in thegenes for schizophrenia by the case-control association studies.

· Cooperating with Dr. Jifeng Cai toscreen mental health status of Chinese prison inmates.

2003 – 2009

MyPh.D. thesis researchis about to studyrisk factors for violence in Chinese schizophrenic patients,which can be used to assess and violent behavior of schizophrenic patients in both clinical and forensic services.

I alsoparticipate in the investigation of candidate genes for schizophrenia by performing molecular biological experiments. Finally, we uncovered the association between violence and some tagSNPs in Chinese schizophrenic patients.
