About William B Ruzicka

W. Brad Ruzicka, MD, PhD, specializes in the clinical treatment and basic investigation of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Dr. Ruzicka provides direct patient care within multiple settings in the hospital’s Division of Psychotic Disorders.

Dr. Ruzicka’s research is focused on the role of epigenetics in the etiology and treatment of psychotic illnesses. Through analyses of postmortem human brain tissue, his work investigates the molecular mechanisms through which environmental exposures (physical illness, psychological stressors, chemical exposures) influence genes and cells within specified circuits of the brain. His work aims to explain the etiology of these illnesses, as well as to develop improved treatments for patients.
