Funded by a 6 million dollar NIMH grant, I worked with an international consortium researching to find a genetic cause for schizophrenia.  Specifically, much of my time was spent conducting a variety of experimental techniques used to elucidate the function of Trace Amine Receptors shown to be genetically linked and associated with schizophrenia.  Techniques included gene sequencing and mutational discovery, tissue culture work, reporter gene assays, cloning, drug effect studies, microarrays, and protein staining among others.
