NARSAD announces 2008 Prizes for Outstanding Achievement in Research on Mental Health Disorders
Date:10/15/2008

Friday, there will be a free, public symposium on new developments in mental health research, featuring NARSAD Young Investigators who are conducting particularly innovative and promising research. The scientists will present new findings in basic and clinical research on depression, schizophrenia, compulsive behaviors, the genetics of mental illness, newly identified brain pathways for treatment, and early diagnosis and intervention in children and teens with mental disorders. The symposium will be held at the Times Center, 242 West 41st Street in Manhattan, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Reservations are recommended.

NARSAD's 2008 Prizes for Outstanding Research Achievement

Irving I. Gottesman, Ph.D., the recipient of this year's Lieber Prize for Outstanding Achievement in Schizophrenia Research, is the Irving and Dorothy Bernstein Professor in Adult Psychiatry and senior fellow in psychology at University of Minnesota; and the Sherrell J. Aston Professor of Psychology Emeritus at the University of Virginia, where he was affiliated for 18 years before assuming his Minnesota post.

He has also served on the faculties of Harvard University, the University of North Carolina and the Washington University School of Medicine. For nearly half a century, as researcher and mentor, he has pioneered in the genetics of mental disorders, particularly schizophrenia. Dr. Gottesman's contribution to the field of psychiatry has resulted in numerous breakthroughs, from his early studies suggesting that psychiatric disorders could represent the extremes of normal distributions of genetic liability for such illnesses, and that underlying the liabilities were polygenic systems a novel idea at the time, to his founding of the National Institute of Mental Health's doctoral training program in behavioral genetics. He went on to lead that program for 14 years.
