Dr. Francisco Reyes-Madrigal, Psychiatrist, M. Sc. I am a psychiatrist and clinical researcher at the National Institute of Neurology and Neurosurgery in Mexico City. Our work in the Laboratory of Experimental Psychiatry (lead by Dr. Camilo de la Fuente-Sandoval), focus in the study of early phase psychosis using Magnetic Resonance Imaging. We have published papers about the roles of glutamate, glutathione and GABA, inflammatory markers, neurocognitive profile, and EEG procedures in subjects at clinical high risk for psychosis and first episode of psychosis. This work has led us to collaborate with distinguished international research groups from Weill Cornell Medical College, New York State Psychiatric Institute, University of Toronto, McGill University, University of California in San Diego, and the ANDES network in Latin America. My current work is searching for biomarkers to predict response to treatment and conversion to psychosis.
