Research

Mayo Clinic's clinical trials are helping to diagnose and treat bipolar disorder. Some areas of research include:

  • Drug treatment options. Mayo Clinic scientists seek to create better and more-targeted drug treatment options based on changes in brain imaging patterns, brain metabolism and genetic makeup.
  • Genetics and medicine. Mayo is a leader in pharmacogenomics research, which is the study of how genetics can predict how a person will respond to a medicine. One focus of Mayo Clinic research is connecting specific genetic profiles with responses to specific antidepressant drugs used to treat depression.

Mayo Clinic is the primary site for the Individualized Medicine Biobank for Bipolar Disorder. This biobank of people with bipolar type I and II is a resource for the bipolar research community. A biobank is a collection of biological or medical data and samples.
