He is also the director of the International Joint Research Unit (IJRU) in neurodevelopment and child psychiatry. The goal of this IJRU is to identify new risk biomarkers and endophenotypes to define childhood risk syndromes of major psychiatric disorders including schizophrenia, bipolar disorders and major depression disorder with the help of neurophotonics tools.
