Neuropharmacology and Psychiatric Disorders

University of Pittsburgh

Dr. Anthony A. Grace is a Distinguished Professor of Neuroscience and a Professor of Psychiatry and Psychology at the University of Pittsburgh. He has been involved in translational research related to the dopamine system as it relates to the pathophysiology of psychiatric disorders for over 45 years. His early work pioneered the mode of action of antipsychotic drugs and the
identification and characterization of dopamine-containing neurons. Currently, Dr. Grace’s work involves the role of stress in pathophysiology, novel treatments for schizophrenia and its prevention, and the role of dopamine in affective disorders. He has published more than 400 articles and is cited more than 63,000 times (H index 122). Dr. Grace has received several
awards for his research, including the William K. Warren Award for Excellence in Schizophrenia Research, the Paul Janssen Schizophrenia Research Award and the Lilly Basic Scientist Award from the CINP, the Efron Award and the Axelrod Award from the ACNP, the Gold Medal award from the SOBP, and the Outstanding Basic Research award and Outstanding Translational
Research Award from the SIRS. He is also the Editor-in-Chief of the SIRS journal Schizophrenia and past editor of the International Journal of Neuropsychopharmacology. Dr. Grace is one of a handful of individuals that not only performs important basic research, but can integrate this work into testable models relevant to the human condition.

Dr. Anthony A. Grace is a faculty member at University of Pittsburgh. He conducts this training program in his personal capacity and not as a representative of, or on behalf of, Univ of Pittsburg
