Mei-Hua Hall, PhD, is the director of the Psychosis Neurobiology Laboratory. Her specific expertise is in electrophysiology, psychiatric genetics, and cognitive neuroscience and she also has a broad background in clinical psychology, epidemiology, and statistical modeling. She receives funding from the National Institute of Mental Health and other sources for her research. Dr. Hall uses electrophysiology (EEG) techniques to study the neurobiological mechanisms underlying schizophrenia, bipolar, and psychotic disorders. She applies multimodal approaches to link patients’ neurobiological and clinical profiles with their functional recovery trajectories. The overarching goals of her lab are to identify individuals with different functional recovery paths and to develop individually tailored and effective treatments.

Dr. Hall has received several awards for her research, including Young Investigator Awards from the Brain and Behavior Research Foundation (BBRF), the Sidney R. Baer, Jr. Foundation, the Jerome Lyle Rappaport Research Award, and the Harvard Catalyst Clinical Research Center (HCCRC) Research Award.
