Description
The American Philosophical Society awards a limited number of Daland Fellowships for research in clinical medicine, including internal medicine, neurology, pediatrics, psychiatry, and surgery. The program emphasizes patient-oriented research and supports clinician-researchers early in their careers, usually during their first fellowship after clinical training. Supported work investigates disease processes, diagnostic and predictive biomarkers, and new treatment strategies.
Past projects illustrate the program’s breadth: translating brain circuit mapping into schizophrenia treatments, investigating cognitive impairment in psychotic disorders, developing imaging tools for treatment-resistant depression, and exploring therapies for chemotherapy-resistant leukemia. Other investigations have addressed hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, transplant rejection, diabetes risk, cancer imaging, and cardiovascular risk in chronic kidney disease.
