Inflammation and Depression: Mechanisms, Mediators and Therapeutic Implications
Andrew Miller, MD is William P. Timmie Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta, Georgia. He is also the Vice Chair for Research in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and Director of the Emory Behavioral Immunology Program. Finally, Dr. Miller is the co-leader of the Cancer Prevention and Control Research Program Research at the Winship Cancer Institute. Dr. Miller is an internationally recognized leader in the area of brain-immune interactions as they relate to depression in medically healthy as well as medically ill patients including patients with cancer. His work has demonstrated that during immune activation, inflammatory cytokines can access the brain and interact with the metabolism of dopamine and glutamate, while altering neurocircuits in the brain relevant to motivation and reward as well as anxiety and alarm. Dr. Miller has also studied the impact of cytokines on neuroendocrine regulation and sleep including the study of the specific signal transduction pathways involved. Additionally, Dr. Miller and his group conducted the first clinical trial examining the efficacy of a cytokine antagonist for the treatment of depression. He has produced over 200 scholarly publications and edited a book entitled Depressive Disorders and Immunity. Dr. Miller’s research awards include the Curt Richter Award from the International Society of Psychoneuroendocrinology and the Norman Cousins Award from the Psychoneuroimmunology Research Society. Aside from his research endeavors, Dr. Miller has won numerous teaching and mentoring awards and is a Board Certified Psychiatrist and past examiner for the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology.

“Towards Computational Phenotypes in Psychiatry” - Amy L. Cochran, PhD

“Towards Computational Phenotypes in Psychiatry”
Amy L. Cochran, PhD
Research Associate
Biostatistics and Medical Informatics
University of Wisconsin

Friday July 20th – 11 AM – 12 noon
WISPIC Commons Room

Amy L. Cochran, Ph.D completed her Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from Cornell University in 2013 and was a T.H. Hildebrandt Research Assistant Professor in the Mathematics Department at the University of Michigan. She is now a NIMH K01 awardee in Biostatistics and Medical Informatics at the University of Wisconsin. Her research interests lie at the intersection of mathematics and psychiatry. She relies on a broad suite of applied math techniques, such as modeling, simulation, and statistics, to tackle problems in psychiatry. She is interested in describing (precisely with mathematics) mood changes on an individual patient basis. She hopes that this information can lead to personalized treatment of bipolar disorder which accounts for a patient’s unique illness course. Her most recent project looks to systematically determine basic principles of how mood changes in bipolar I patients, e.g. whether mood fluctuates rhythmically. Future work aims to use smart-phone technology and mathematics to track mood in bipolar patients more precisely and in real time. Amy is one of three editors of the book Computational Neurology and Psychiatry.

The Psychopathology of Disgust in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
Bunmi O. Olatunji, PhD is Professor in the Department of Psychology and Psychiatry at Vanderbilt University where he also serves as the Director of Clinical Training. He is Associate Editor of the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology and currently serves on the editorial boards of Behavior Therapy, International Journal of Cognitive Therapy, Journal of Obsessive-Compulsive and Related Disorders, Psychological Bulletin, Psychological Assessment, and Psychotherapy. He has published more than 160 journal articles and book chapters, and has participated in more than 100 conference presentations. He is co-author of the book “10-minute CBT: Cognitive behavioral interventions for the brief medication visit” published by Oxford Press and co-editor of the book “Disgust and its disorders: Assessment, theory, and treatment” published by the American Psychological Association.
As Director of the Emotion and Anxiety Research Laboratory at Vanderbilt University, his primary research interest involves multilevel examination of cognitive behavioral theory, assessment, and therapy for anxiety disorders. He is currently adopting an experimental psychopathology framework to examine the role of basic emotions, especially disgust, as they relate to the assessment, etiology, and maintenance of anxiety-related disorders. His research has been funded by the National Institute of Health and the Anxiety Disorders Association of America. For his research and professional efforts, he had been the recipient of the American Psychological Association (APA) Division 12 David Shakow Early Career Award for Distinguished Scientific Contributions to Clinical Psychology, the Association for the Advancement of Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies New Researcher Award, and the APA Division 12 Theodore Blau Early Career Award for Distinguished Professional Contributions to Clinical Psychology. He was also the recent recipient of the APA Distinguished Scientific Awards for an Early Career Contribution to Psychology. This award recognizes excellent psychologists who are at early stages of their research careers.

Multimodal Neuroimaging – Neural Circuits and Mood Disorders:
Toward Neural Biomarkers for Novel Interventions

Mary Phillips, MD, MD is the Pittsburgh Foundation-Emmerling Endowed Chair in psychotic Disorders, and Professor in Psychiatry and Clinical and Translational Science in the University of Pittsburgh. She heads the Clinical and Translational Affective Neuroscience Program in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Pittsburgh. Dr. Phillips’ research focuses on using multimodal neuroimaging techniques to elucidate functional and structural abnormalities in emotion processing, reward processing and emotional regulation circuitries that are associated with specific psychiatric disorders, and symptom dimensions in individuals with mood and anxiety disorders. Her research also focuses on identifying the neurodevelopmental trajectories in these circuitries that are associated with the development of such disorders in youth and infants, and the extent to which these neuroimaging techniques can identity biomarkers reflecting underlying pathophysiologic processes that denote future risk for these disorders in as yet unaffected youth. Her more recent work examines how neuromodulation techniques can be targeted on identified neural biomarkers of mood disorders, as a step toward developing new interventions for individuals with these disorders. She works in collaboration with basic neuroscientists in translational studies of neural circuitry abnormalities in these disorders.
Dr. Phillips trained in Medicine at Cambridge University, UK, and in Psychiatry at the Maudsley Hospital and the Institute of Psychiatry, King’s College, University of London, UK. She joined the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Pittsburgh as a full-time faculty member in July, 2005. In 2005, Dr. Phillips became a member of the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology; in 2006, she was awarded the Nellie Blumenthal Independent Investigator Award by the Brain and Behavior Research Foundation (National Alliance for Research in Schizophrenia and Depression); in 2012, became a Fellow of the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology; and, in 2014, she became a member of the American Society of Clinical Investigation and received the Joel Elkes Research Prize of the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology. In 2018, she became President Elect of the Society of Biological Psychiatry, has served on the Membership Committee of the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology, and on Program Committees of both the Society of Biological Psychiatry and the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology. In 2018, she was elected to the Scientific Council of the Brain and Behavior Research Foundation, and received the Brain and Behavior Research Foundation Colvin Prize for research in mood disorders in 2018.
Dr. Phillips has received research funding awards from the National Institute of Mental Health and the Brain and Behavior Research Foundation in the U.S., and the Medical Research Council and the Wellcome Trust in the UK. Dr. Phillips has mentored over 60 junior investigators, including being mentor to 11 K awardees, has extensive national and international collaborations, and has authored or co-authored more than 300 publications.
