We'll start the new year off on January 10, 2025 with a Meet the PI lecture featuring the research of Danella Hafeman, MD, PhD, Associate Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine.
Dr. Hafeman’s research focuses on the prediction of bipolar disorder in offspring of parents with bipolar disorder. She has made critical contributions to improving our understanding of the risk for bipolar disorder in offspring of parents with bipolar, including the creation of the first risk calculator for predicting bipolar disorder in at-risk youth. She has also tested a mindfulness intervention for youth at high risk for bipolar disorder and identified changes in connectivity between the posterior cingulate cortex and the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex as a marker of resilience and a possible target for mindfulness. Dr. Hafeman is a clinical expert in pediatric mood disorders. She is board-certified in general psychiatry and in child psychiatry, and serves as the Medical director of the Child and Adolescent Bipolar Spectrum (CABS) clinic.
