Marin Science Seminar presents another free science event for teens and community at Terra Linda High School in San Rafael:(Please NOTE: Tickets and Registration are NOT required. The link is simply for more information on the event and locale.)
“Brain Medicine: Bridging the divide between Psychiatry and Neurology” with Ellen Bradley M.D. of UCSF Weill Institute for Neurosciences
Description: Dr. Ellen Bradley will share her journey to becoming a professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at UCSF, where she now bridges the divide between psychiatry and neurology through innovative research. Dr. Bradley will explain how she studies neuropsychiatric disorders. She’ll discuss the technical aspects of her clinical trials, which investigate how the brain’s chemistry interacts with movement and mood disorders. Students will learn about the field of psychopharmacology and how modern brain medicine requires understanding both the biological mechanisms of psychiatric symptoms and the neurological systems that control movement, attention, and cognition.
Bio: Ellen Bradley, MD, is an assistant professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), lead psychiatrist for the Parkinson’s disease Research, Education, and Clinical Center (PADRECC) at the San Francisco VA Medical Center, and associate director of the UCSF translational psychedelic research (TrPR) program. Her goal is to advance effective, multidisciplinary care for people living with neuropsychiatric disorders through clinical practice and research. She uses mechanistic clinical trials to understand the effects of psychoactive drugs and their potential as treatments for illnesses that span the psychiatry-neurology divide, including Parkinson’s disease (PD). Dr. Bradley leads the TrPR program’s studies focused on neurodegenerative disorders.
