Three trainees in Yale Department of Psychiatry have been named recipients of the 2025 Thomas P. Detre Fellowship Award in Translational Neuroscience Research in Psychiatry.
The Detre Award, associated with the Neuroscience Research Training Program (NRTP), supports the translational research endeavors and educational needs of selected residents. Recipients receive $30,000 to support their work and their training.
The 2025 Detre Award recipients are:
- Rachel Bandler, MD, PhD: “Resolving developmental circuit connectivity at single-cell resolution”
- Will Li, MD, PhD: “Entactogen-mediated rescue of socio-affective dysfunction and corticolimbic circuitry in rodents exposed to early life adversity”
- Joseph Luchsinger, MD, PhD: “Gut-to-brain signaling restricts dietary protein intake during recovery”
The Detre Awards were established in memory of Dr. Thomas Detre, an internationally renowned academic psychiatrist, esteemed Yale Psychiatry faculty member and alumnus, and longtime Chair of Psychiatry, Vice Chancellor of Health Services, and Dean at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine.
The Detre Award, now in its 13th year, has been generously funded by departmental alumni. New support comes from Biohaven, Ltd. and from the Coric Family Foundation.
