Short summary of the project:
Supported by the National Research, Development and Innovation Office and as a part of the Hungarian Brain Research Program 2.0 the research group tries to identify new drug targets for the treatment of depression using genome-wide gene-environment interaction analysis (GEWIs).

The project based on the results of the previous NAP-A-SE New Antidepressant Target Research Group.
