- How do I join IC-MAGIC as a clinical investigator?
We are currently at a stage where we plan to write up research proposals to avail grants. We plan to study major mental illnesses such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder, and the focus of our initial projects is to collect biological samples (blood/DNA) of patients with these disorders. If you are a psychiatrist (clinician/researcher) and feel that you will be able to help us reach out to a sizeable number of patients for participation in such research, we welcome you to be part of the consortium. You may contact Dr Biju Viswanath (bijuv1@gmail.com) or any of the co-investigators for this.
