Mary Louise Phillips is a Pittsburgh Foundation-Emmerling Endowed Chair in Psychotic Disorders and Professor of Psychiatry and Clinical and Translational Science at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine.[1] As the director of the Mood and Brain Laboratory, Phillips performs neuroimaging research designed to elucidate the neuropathophysiological basis of bipolar disorders and associated behavioral traits.[2]
Education[edit]
Phillips obtained her medical education and training at the University of Cambridge, the Maudsley Hospital, and the Institute of Psychiatry in London.[3] Her early research training was earned through a Medical Research Council (UK) fellowship.[3]
Research[edit]
Phillips research interests span multimodal imaging techniques; abnormalities in brain function, structure, and white matter; and biomarkers for risk of psychiatric disorders.[1] She has published the findings of her research in over 200 peer-reviewed articles in top journals including JAMA Psychiatry,[4] Molecular Psychiatry,[5] and Biological Psychiatry.[6] Her research has received international recognition through grant award funding from the National Institute of Mental Health (US), Medical Research Council (UK), and Wellcome Trust (UK).[3] and honors such as the University of Pittsburgh Chancellor's Distinguished Research Awards[7][8], Colvin Prize for Outstanding Achievement in Mood Disorders Research,[9] Joel Elkes Research Award,[10] and the Clarivate Analytics 2018 Highly Cited Researchers list.[11]
Phillips is President of the Society of Biological Psychiatry (2019),[12] Scientific Council Member of Brain & Behavior Research Foundation (2016),[9] and Elected Member of the American Society for Clinical Investigation.[13]
Mentorship[edit]
Phillips mentors and trains future scientists in their pursuit of psychiatric neuroscience research careers.[14] Her mentees have included psychiatry residents,[15] medical scientist training program students,[16] postdoctoral scholars,[17] and young investigators.[18] In addition, she is a steering committee member of the Society of Biological Psychiatry's Women's Leadership Group, which aims to support and advance the careers of women scientists.[19]
Popular press[edit]
Phillips' research has been internationally featured in a variety of media outlets, including the BBC,[20] LA Times,[21] and PBS.[22]
