Glatt, Ph.D., is Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and Associate Director of Medical Genetics Research at SUNY Upstate Medical University. Dr. Glatt is the principal investigator on a Young Investigator Award from NARSAD: The Mental Health Research Foundation, and on a schizophrenia Research Project grant (R01) and Autism Center of Excellence Research Project grant (P50) from the National Institute of Mental Health. Dr. Glatt is also a co-investigator or consultant on numerous grants from the National Institutes of Health which are focused on identifying the nature and causes of mental disorders. In particular, Dr. Glatt is working primarily on candidate gene and genome-wide association, linkage, and gene expression studies of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, autism, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, heroin dependence, and other substance use disorders.Dr. Glatt is an author on over 50 journal articles, invited manuscripts, and book chapters, and has been invited to present his work in numerous national and international forums. Dr. Glatt is on the Editorial Board of Neuropsychiatric Genetics, and serves as an ad-hoc reviewer for many of the top journals in the field of psychiatry, including Archives of General Psychiatry, American Journal of Psychiatry, Molecular Psychiatry, and Biological Psychiatry. In addition, he serves as Editor-at-Large for Methodology and Statistics for the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry.
