Dr. Jordan W. Smoller: June 19th, 2018
"Psychiatric Genomics and Phenomics"
William K. Warren, Jr. Frontiers in Neuroscience Lecture
Laureate Psychiatric Clinic and Hospital Conference Center
11:00am - 11:45 am Registration and Lunch, lunch stops being served at 11:45 - no exceptions
12:00pm - 1:00pm Program
Dr. Jordan Smoller is the MGH Trustees Endowed Chair in Psychiatric Neuroscience, Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and Professor in the Department of Epidemiology at the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston. He is Associate Chief for Research in the MGH Department of Psychiatry and Director of the Psychiatric and Neurodevelopmental Genetics Unit and Director of the Precision Medicine Research Unit in the MGH Center for Genomic Medicine. Dr. Smoller is a Tepper Family MGH Research Scholar and also serves as Director of the Omics Unit of the MGH Division of Clinical Research and co-Director of the Partners HealthCare Biobank at MGH. He is an Associate Member of the Broad Institute and a Senior Scientist at the Broad’s Stanley Center for Psychiatric Research. He is also Vice President of the International Society of Psychiatric Genetics.
Dr. Smoller earned his undergraduate degree in psychology and social relations (summa cum laude) at Harvard University and his medical degree at Harvard Medical School. After completing residency training in psychiatry at McLean Hospital, Dr. Smoller received masters and doctoral degrees in epidemiology at the Harvard School of Public Health. He also completed a postdoctoral fellowship in the NIMH Training Program in Psychiatric Genetics. The focus of Dr. Smoller’s research interests has been 1) understanding the genetic and environmental determinants of psychiatric disorders across the lifespan; 2) integrating genomics and neuroscience to unravel how genes affect brain structure and function; and 3) using “big data”, including electronic health records and genomics, to advance precision medicine. He is an author of more than 300 scientific publications and is also the author of The Other Side of Normal (HarperCollins/William Morrow, 2012).
Three Learning Objectives:
1. Summarize progress in identifying the genetic basis of psychiatric disorders.
2. Discuss examples of how the integration of genomic and neuroimaging data can provide insights into the biological basis of psychiatric disorders.
3. Discuss how “big data” approaches, enabled by biobanking and electronic health records, may accelerate discovery and clinical applications in psychiatric research.
