Professor and Director Clinical Research, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Medicine
Carilion Clinic-VTCSOM
I have conducted over 160 trials as PI or sub-investigator for industry, academic centers and NIMH. Areas of research and clinical responsibilities have been in the areas of psychosis, mood disorders and substance abuse. I have also been a Psychiatry Program Director for 15 years, mentoring undergraduate students, graduate level residents and junior faculty in patient care, education, and research. As Professor and Director of Clinical Research in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Medicine, I now devote my academic role in expanding, mentoring and teaching clinical research within Carilion Clinic, the Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine and the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute.
