 Biography   Steven E. Hyman, M.D. Professor of Neurobiology Harvard Medical School Provost, Harvard University Dr. Hyman’s research interest lies at the intersection of molecular neuroscience, molecular biology and psychiatry. He resumed his long association with Harvard after serving as Director of the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) from 1996 to 2001. At NIMH, his efforts were aimed at bringing molecular biology, genetics, neuroscience, and behavioral science to bear in integrated ways on the understanding of mental illness and mental health. Among his earlier posts at Harvard, Dr. Hyman was professor of psychiatry and director of psychiatry research at Massachusetts General Hospital and director of Harvard’s Interfaculty Initiative in Mind, Brain and Behavior. His laboratory focused on mechanisms by which the neurotransmitter dopamine produces long-term changes in brain function by regulating the expression of genes, research relevant to understanding addiction and how therapeutic psychotropic drugs produce their beneficial effects. Dr. Hyman is a member of the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences. He has received awards for public service from the U. S. Government and from patient advocacy groups, and he has lectured widely on genetics, brain and behavior, and the stigma of mental illness. Dr. Hyman has been a NARSAD Scientific Council member since 1996. |
