Yale School of Medicine "For Humanity" Campaign: Neuroscience Pillar Video

Transcript

• 00:00As creative leaders in medicine
• 00:02and science, we constantly push
• 00:04boundaries to advance medicine for
• 00:06the benefit of humanity. Through
• 00:07groundbreaking research, we're unlocking the
• 00:10complexities of the human brain
• 00:11and its vast neural networks.
• 00:13We're trying to impact lives
• 00:14every day when we come
• 00:15to the lab. The the
• 00:16scientific problems of today can't
• 00:19be answered
• 00:20from one perspective.
• 00:21Yale School of Medicine is,
• 00:24it's my favorite place. Creates
• 00:26the opportunity and creates the
• 00:27environment for,
• 00:29inquiry
• 00:31and for
• 00:32for people to ask questions.
• 00:34One of the things that
• 00:35that I've realized that as
• 00:36a clinical psychologist, I have
• 00:37certain kinds of training, but
• 00:39when I combine that with
• 00:40people with different expertise, we
• 00:42can ask fundamentally different kinds
• 00:43of questions. So you see
• 00:45people from clinical departments, basic
• 00:47science departments,
• 00:48putting their heads together to
• 00:50tackle one single problem,
• 00:52regardless of of where they
• 00:54come from. And I think
• 00:55that diversity,
• 00:57of thoughts and also of
• 00:59profession is pretty powerful.
• 01:01A study that we lead
• 01:02here has actually led to
• 01:03the FDA's first investment into
• 01:06biomarkers
• 01:07for autism or for any
• 01:08psychiatric condition. So this is
• 01:09really literally
• 01:11an unprecedented milestone for the
• 01:13field of psychiatry and neuroscience.
• 01:15We have, you know, at
• 01:16Yale, you know, trials,
• 01:18for Parkinson's disease. We also
• 01:20have the same in in
• 01:21Alzheimer's disease where we have
• 01:24new targets,
• 01:25new drugs. We have the
• 01:26large clinical trials, multi center
• 01:29clinical trials in for stroke,
• 01:32that has been ongoing in
• 01:33autism research,
• 01:35in in children
• 01:37and in neurodiverse populations,
• 01:40in epilepsy.
• 01:41The same thing can be
• 01:42said in psychiatry
• 01:43where we've the the the
• 01:45ketamine was founded here, and
• 01:46now it's in various clinical
• 01:48trials for depression and for
• 01:50post traumatic stress disorder. And,
• 01:52one of its problems that
• 01:53we wanna tackle is, teen
• 01:55mental health.
• 01:56And just looking at over
• 01:58the last few years, it's
• 02:00it's at its all time
• 02:01high. One One of the
• 02:02exciting initiatives at the School
• 02:03of Medicine is the Center
• 02:05for Brain and Mind Health.
• 02:06Experts who focus on all
• 02:08different kinds of conditions related
• 02:11to the brain and related
• 02:12to the mind from psychiatric
• 02:14conditions
• 02:15to stroke, share ideas that
• 02:17aren't limited by their medical
• 02:20training,
• 02:20by their scientific background, by
• 02:23the condition that they study.
• 02:24So the Yale School of
• 02:25Medicine,
• 02:27cultivates innovators
• 02:29that are at the cusp
• 02:30of the next breakthrough.
• 02:31Philanthropy and science
• 02:33go hand in hand. And
• 02:35so what philanthropy lets us
• 02:36do is to be bold.
• 02:39It lets us take risks.
• 02:41It lets us do studies
• 02:42that hold promise.
• 02:44Learn how your gift can
• 02:46support vital and innovative projects
• 02:48that help us learn more
• 02:49about the brain's myriad relationships
• 02:51and connections.
