Serotonin and BEYOND is multi-disciplinary project, led by prof Judith Homberg of Translational Neuroscience at Radboudumc. Together with researchers from leading European universities and institutes we aim to create a network with world-leading expertise in serotonin research and training. This project aims to train the next generation of serotonin researchers and deliver new fundamental insights in how early life changes in serotonin caused by genetic or environmental factors alter brain development and thereby contribute to the cause of serotonergic psychiatric disorders. These new insights have the potential to reveal novel targets for future therapies, as well as the developmental windows in which such interventions would be most effective.
