The primary goal of his research is to understand the role of oxidative stress-induced damage to neurotransmission in bipolar disorder; and to understand the neuroprotective mechanism of mood stabilizing drugs against oxidative stress. These studies should lead to identifying new therapeutic targets for investigation in clinical trials in the near future, contributing to new and more effective therapies for bipolar disorder with fewer side effects.
