Highlights
The G10 group lead by Ana González-Pinto, is known for its research in the study of Bipolar Disorder and First Psychotic Episodes, participating in both trans- lational research (neurotrophins, inflammation, oxi- dative stress), and clinical and psychopharmacolog- ical research: development of new treatments, new methods of treatment application (online, e-learning, mindfulness), intervention strategies for prevention (postpartum depression, patients at high risk of de- veloping psychosis). One of the areas of greatest impact of the group focuses on the detection and treatment of psychiatric patients with cannabis and other substances consumption. The G10 group has developed a specific treatment for psychotic pa- tients with cannabis use to achieve its cessation. They have also conducted research on Alzheimer, Schizophrenia and Depression.

The group have also published a clinical guide en- titled “Programa SOMNE: Terapia psicológica in- tegral para el insomnio: guía para el terapeuta y el paciente” (DESCLEE DE BROUWER, S.A. -EDIT, ISBN: 978-84-330-2796-2).
The G10 research group has numerous projects granted continuously, at both regional (Basque Gov- ernment, Kronikgune), national (FIS, MINECO, MSP- SI) and European level (7th Framework Programme, FISTAR, MASTERMIND). They have also received numerous awards at national and international con- ferences.
Finally, the incorporation of new talents to research is enhanced by training people on stays within the group and performing several doctoral theses (Beca predoctoral Universidad del País Vasco, beca pre- doctoral Instituto Carlos III).
