Jan Haavik is professor of Biomedicine, MD, PhD, specialist in adult haavik-janpsychiatry and leads an interdisciplinary centre of excellence "K.G.Jebsen Centre for Research on Neuropsychiatric disorders" that is exploring the biology of impulsivity related disorders across the life-span. He has 25 years of experience in basic, clinical and translational neuroscience research. He has been principal investigator for multiple grants from the Research Council of Norway and the Norwegian Cancer Soc. since 1993. He has participated in EU programs for research and has extensive experience in biochemistry, neurochemistry and translational medicine. He has expertise on functional studies of genes involved in psychiatric disorders and has authored many research articles investigating the molecular mechanisms of neurotransmitter biosynthesis in humans and in model organisms and how this is related to neuropsychiatric disorders.
