Description
This two- to three-year research fellowship provides in-depth training in the clinical and basic science of mood, anxiety, and related disorders. The program, supported by a National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) grant, is designed for early-career scientists and clinicians interested in translational research that connects animal models to human patients. Fellows receive didactic education in research methodologies and statistics, as well as hands-on, supervised research experience. The aim is to equip fellows with the skills and knowledge necessary to investigate the mechanisms and treatments of mood and anxiety disorders using both preclinical and clinical approaches.
