For over 30 years, Dr. Kane has been developing and advancing new treatments for psychiatric conditions. He delivers on the model of translational research with a long history of clinical trials, most notably his groundbreaking work with clozapine for patients with treatment-resistant schizophrenia that was conducted in the 1980s. He has always been on the forefront of bringing the next generation of medicines to patients while maintaining his focus on improving symptoms, reducing side effects and enhancing long-term quality of life.
 
The laboratory runs a number of clinical trials. Dr. Kane also devotes his efforts to standardizing the outcome measurements in psychiatric research. Since the beginning of his residency at The Zucker Hillside Hospital in Glen Oaks in 1971, Dr. Kane has committed his career to unraveling the mysteries of this brain disorder. He pioneered studies on patients hospitalized for the first time showing florid symptoms such as hallucinations and delusions.

The program, under the direction of Dr. Kane, also conduct pioneering studies on first episode schizophrenia. Dr. Kane and his colleagues helped determine treatment strategies for relapse prevention and management of treatment refractory patients. His findings have been circulated worldwide and have become part of the fabric of modern care. All of the scientists within the Center work in collaboration with Dr. Kane on the clinical pharmacology studies underway at the Zucker Hillside Hospital. He is the Principal Investigator on two large federal grants.
