项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is an application for a K24 Midcareer Investigator in Patient Oriented Research award. I am a psychiatrist with clinical expertise in psychotic disorders and background in neurobiology. I have been conducting noninvasive neuroimaging studies probing cellular abnormalities in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. I have built a group of junior investigators engaged in patient oriented research and I am the Chief of the Psychotic Disorders Division at McLean Hospital. However, I have a need for protected time to enhance my mentoring activities and to develop new areas of expertise to meet my long-term career goals of identifying therapeutic targets in psychotic disorders and to train the next generation of investigators in this field. In this proposal, I outline a mentoring lan for recruiting and retaining high caliber junior investigators into my research group. In addition,I will obtain additional training in mitochondrial function, brain bioenergetics, and peripheral glucose metabolism/diabetes. My research to date has examined abnormalities in glutamatergic and GABAergic neurotransmission. I will use this training to expand my studies into 31P magnetic resonance spectroscopy which provides detailed information about ATP synthesis and metabolism - processes which are intricately linked with neurotransmission. There are multiple indications that brain metabolism is also related to peripheral metabolism. Since patients with psychotic disorders are also prone to the metabolic syndrome, I will also initiate a new series of studies on muscle metabolism and peripheral markers of insulin resistance. I predict that these measures will correlate with brain measures, and they will suggest potential new opportunities for treating schizophrenia - an area of great unmet need.

描述（由申请人提供）：这是一份 K24 面向患者的研究奖的申请。我是一名具有精神病临床专业知识和神经生物学背景的恐慌者，我一直在进行非侵入性神经影像学研究，探索精神分裂症和精神分裂症的细胞异常。我建立了一个从事以患者为导向的研究的初级研究人员小组，并且我是麦克莱恩医院精神障碍部门的负责人。保护时间来加强我的指导活动并开发新的专业领域，以实现我的长期职业目标，即确定精神障碍的治疗目标并培训该领域的下一代研究人员。在本提案中，我概述了一个指导网络。为了招募和留住高素质的初级研究人员加入我的研究小组，我还将获得线粒体功能、大脑生物能量学和外周葡萄糖代谢/糖尿病方面的额外培训。我将利用这次培训将我的研究扩展到 31P 磁共振波谱，它提供了有关 ATP 合成和代谢的详细信息，这些过程与神经传递密切相关。有多种迹象表明，大脑代谢也与外周代谢有关。患有精神疾病的人也容易患代谢综合征，我还将启动一系列关于肌肉代谢和胰岛素抵抗外周标志物的新研究，我预测这些措施将与大脑测量相关，并且它们将为治疗提供潜在的新机会。精神分裂症 - 一个需求未得到满足的领域。
