Additionally, CINS expand already existing international alliances with some of the best experts internationally within neuropsychiatric schizophrenia research.

  Additionally, we will in CINS collaborate with a large number of other national and international leading researchers and groups. Here we would especially like to mention that Peter Williamson who is a leading researcher within studies on resting state in schizophrenia has accepted to collaborate with us in these studies. Peter Williamson is Chair in Neuroscience and Mental Health at the Schulin School of Medicine, University of Western Ontario, Canada. Additionally, Dr. Sukhi Shergill at IOP, who (in addition to Dr. Kapur) is an expert in the Knutson paradigm, will collaborate on these studies.
  
  CINS also collaborate with a large number of other national and international research groups that are not directly members of the new centre, among others Mt. Sinai School of Medicine, New York, and the Protein Laboratory, the Panum Institute.
