Psychiatric researchers at OHSU work across the entire spectrum of research from the basic neurosciences to translational and clinical research to mental health services and public health research. Our faculty are experts in research methods ranging from molecular genetics and functional neuroimaging to qualitative and administrative data ("big data") research. Some of our primary areas of excellence in research include:

• Addiction and substance use, including pain research
• Health services research, including suicide prevention
• Neurodevelopmental disorders, including ADHD and autism spectrum disorders
• Trauma and its comorbidities, including PTSD and traumatic brain injury
