Research Interests
Major Research Themes Translational Psychiatry
Preventative Psychiatry Epidemiology and Health Service Research Psychiatric Neuroscience Neuroimmunology, Neurodegeneration, Regenerative Neurobiology Medical-Psychiatric Comorbidity Research
Laboratories Prof. Baune's basic science lab in Psychiatric Neuroscience is established at the Adelaide Centre for Neuroscience Research, University of Adelaide. Prof. Baune's research integrates behaviour, cognitive function, genes and proteins in humans and animal models as demonstrated in various clinical and basic science models of inflammation relevant to cognitive performance and neuropsychiatric disorders. Human Exeprimental psychological research is conducted in the neuropsychology lab in the Discipline of Psychiatry and in associated labs.
Molecular Psychiatry Molecular genetics and animal models (genetically modified) of the immune system, neuroprogression, neurodegeneration and neuroregeneration, cognitive impairment and emotion processing Clinical molecular genetics to study epigenetics, genetics, genomics and imaging genetics of psychiatric disorders with an emphasis on brain morphometry and functional impairment (fMRI) (e.g., psychosis, depression, cognitive impairment)
Translational Psychiatry Pre-clinical, pharmacological and non-pharmacological studies on the effects on neuroregeneration and neuroplasticity, specifically on cognitive function and emotion processing
