Joachim F. Hallmayer, M.D., Dr. med.

A main focus of Dr. Hallmayer's research is to find genetic markers linked to autism and pervasive developmental disorders. A second research focus is to resolve the heterogeneity of clinical phenotypes such as schizophrenia into genetically simpler, quantifiable components, thus facilitating the search for susceptibility genes for these disorders. Several phenotypes that have been reported to correlate with clinical schizophrenia are currently being studied. These include neurocognitive variables such as sustained attention and a number of event-related potentials such as mismatch negativity, MMN.
