Yale School of Medicine - For Humanity: Neuroscience Pillar

Transcript

• 00:00As creative leaders in medicine and science,
• 00:03we constantly push boundaries to advance
• 00:05medicine for the benefit of humanity.
• 00:08Through groundbreaking research,
• 00:09we're unlocking the complexities
• 00:11of the human brain and its vast
• 00:13neural networks. We're trying to impact
• 00:16lives every day when we come to the lab.
• 00:19The scientific problems of today can't be
• 00:21answered from one perspective.
• 00:23Your School of Medicine
• 00:24is it's my favorite place,
• 00:26creates the opportunity and creates
• 00:29the environment for enquiry.
• 00:31And for for people to ask questions. One
• 00:33of the things that that I've realized
• 00:35that as a clinical psychologist I
• 00:38have certain kinds of training,
• 00:40but when I combine that with people
• 00:42with different expertise, we can
• 00:44ask fundamentally different
• 00:45kinds of questions.
• 00:46So you see people from clinical departments,
• 00:49basic science departments,
• 00:50putting their heads together to
• 00:51tackle one single problem regardless
• 00:53of of where they come from. And I
• 00:56think that diversity of thoughts and
• 00:58also of profession is pretty powerful.
• 01:01A study that we lead here has
• 01:03actually led to the FDA's first
• 01:05investment into biomarkers for autism
• 01:07or for any psychiatric condition.
• 01:10So this is really literally an
• 01:12unprecedented milestone for the
• 01:13field of psychiatry and neuroscience.
• 01:15We have you know at Yale,
• 01:18you know trials for Parkinson's disease.
• 01:20We also have the same in Alzheimer's
• 01:23disease where we have new targets,
• 01:25new drugs, we have large clinical trials,
• 01:28multi centre clinical trials.
• 01:30In stroke, that has been
• 01:33ongoing in autism research.
• 01:36In children and in neurodiverse populations.
• 01:38In epilepsy, the same thing can be
• 01:40said in psychiatry where we've the
• 01:42the the ketamine was founded here
• 01:44and now it's in various clinical
• 01:47trials for depression and for post
• 01:49traumatic stress disorder. And
• 01:50one of the problems that we want to
• 01:53tackle is teen mental health and just
• 01:56looking at over the last few years it's
• 01:59it's at this all time high one of the
• 02:02exciting initiatives at the School
• 02:04of Medicine. Is a centre for
• 02:06brain and mind health experts.
• 02:08On all different kinds of conditions related
• 02:11to the brain and related to the mind,
• 02:14from psychiatric conditions to stroke,
• 02:16share ideas that aren't limited
• 02:18by their medical training,
• 02:19by their scientific background,
• 02:21by the condition that they study so the Yale
• 02:24School of Medicine. Cultivates
• 02:27innovators that are the cusp of the
• 02:30next breakthrough. Philanthropy and
• 02:32science go hand in hand,
• 02:34and So what philanthropy lets
• 02:36us do is to be bold. It lets us take risks.
• 02:41It lets us do studies that hold promise.
• 02:44Learn how your gift can support
• 02:46vital and innovative projects that
• 02:49help us learn more about the brains,
• 02:51myriad relationships and connections.
