Speaker Profile
M.D., Ph.D., Director of Charles Bronfman Institute of Personalized Medicine, Mount Sinai
Biography
Dr. Charney is a physician-scientist that conducts research to understand the complexities of human brain function in both healthy and pathological states, as well as the genomic basis of human disease more broadly. He is the lead investigator of several of the largest initiatives in the field towards this end, including the Living Brain Project and the Mount Sinai Million Health Discoveries Program. Altogether, his programs are designed to develop new treatments for those living with schizophrenia and other severe mental illnesses, as well as to build resources that the scientific community can harness to develop new treatments for other human diseases.
