Dr. Bartley is a physician-scientist with a translational research program in the emerging field of immunopsychiatry, with an emphasis in autoimmunity. He completed his Ph.D. in neurobiology and M.D. at Yale School of Medicine in 2015. He completed his residency in Psychiatry at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) in 2019, where he served as Chief Resident of Education. After residency, he continued at UCSF as a practicing psychiatrist seeing patients with comorbid autoimmunity and psychiatric disorders, and as a post-doctoral research fellow in the Division of Neuroimmunology in the laboratories Drs. Samuel Pleasure M.D., Ph.D. and Michael Wilson M.D. His post-doctoral research was supported in part by: a Hanna H. Gray Fellowship from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, a University of California President’s Post-doctoral Fellowship, and Deeda Blair Research Initiative for Disorders of the Brain by the Foundation for the NIH.
As a post-doctoral fellow, Dr. Bartley used next-generation antigen discovery to identify novel and poorly characterized anti-neural autoantibodies in neuropsychiatric disorders including psychotic spectrum disorders, neuropsychiatric COVID-19, limbic encephalitis, and paraneoplastic neurologic syndromes. In the fall of 2022, Dr. Bartley started as a Tenure-Track Investigator at the National Institute of Mental Health where his lab will continue to focus on translational immunopsychiatry.
