Roy H. Perlis, MD, MSc
Director, Center for Quantitative Health, Massachusetts General Hospital
Professor of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School

Dr. Perlis is the director of the Center for Quantitative Health in the Department of Psychiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital, the Associate Director of the Psychiatric Genetics Program in Mood and Anxiety Disorders, and Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. He also serves as consultant to the American Psychiatric Association's bipolar treatment guidelines workgroup.

Kamber L. Hart
Clinical Research Coordinator, Center for Quantitative Health

Kamber graduated from Princeton University in 2016 with a AB in psychology. Her thesis focused on linguistic patterns of depression, specifically the use of metaphors in literature and personal accounts to describe the depressed state. Her goals are to apply to medical school and continue studying the intersection of language and mental health.

Amelia M. Pellegrini
Clinical Research Coordinator, Center for Quantitative Health

Amelia graduated from Tufts University with a BA in Clinical Psychology and Spanish. She is from Bangor, Maine and is looking forward to spending the next few years in Boston before pursuing a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology. She is particularly interested in investigating neuropsychological abnormalities in schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders.

Center for Experimental Drugs and Diagnostics

Steven D. Sheridan, PhD
Sr. Research Investigator
Director, Platform for Cellular Modeling of Neuropsychiatric Disease (cMiND)

Dr. Sheridan has more than 15 years of experience in both academia and industry deriving, expanding, differentiating, and characterizing pluripotent and multipotent stem cells and their progeny for the purposes of disease modeling, genetic engineering, cell therapy, tissue engineering, and drug discovery. Currently a Senior Research Investigator and Director of the Platform for Cellular Modeling of Neuropsychiatric Disease in the Center for Genomic Medicine (CGM) at Massachusetts General Hospital, he has also served as a Principal Scientist in biotech leading cross-functional teams in stem cell technology development. 

Most recently, his research at the Center for Quantitative Health involves the generation and characterization of human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), neural stem cells, and neurons directly from patients of various neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric disease backgrounds (such as Fragile X syndrome, Rett Syndrome, CDKL5, Pitt-Hopkins Syndrome, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder) in order to facilitate the development of novel cell-based assays of disease mechanism.

Dr. Sheridan received his PhD in Molecular Genetics at the University of California, Irvine and followed-up with post-doctoral training in genetic engineering at Harvard University.

Jennifer Wang, PhD
Sr. Research Investigator

Jen has BA in Mathematics and a BS in Physics from the University of California, San Diego.  She earned her PhD in Neuroscience from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where she studied neural circuits in-vitro using electrophysiology and optogenetics.  She did a fellowship at MGH reprogramming patient cell models to identify psychiatric disease phenotypes.  She continues this work as a senior research scientist where she develops new assays and tools for psychiatric disease models.

Smita Jagtap, PhD
Post-doctoral Fellow

Dr. Jagtap earned her PhD in Cell and Molecular Biology at the University of Cologne, Germany. During her PhD, she worked with hESC and hiPSC to develop toxicity assays and understand the molecular mechanisms of developmental toxicants such as retinoic acid, cytarabine, and thalidomide.  She worked on various differentiation protocols (neuronal, cardiomyocytes, and hepatocyte-like cells) using hESC and hiPSC.

Smita is interested in the study of a rare X-linked genetic disorder CDKL5 (cyclin-dependent kinase-like 5) that results in early onset, difficult to control seizures, and severe neurodevelopmental impairment, with the goal of understanding the mechanisms and identifying novel targets.  In particular, she would like to develop treatments selectively targeting diseased neurons by exploiting changes in neuronal metabolic potential during the course of the disorder.

When not at work, Smita enjoys music, sketching, and painting with urban sketchers.

Ting Fu
Senior Research Technologist

Ting is a senior research technologist with more than 14 years of experience in a variety of biomedical research areas, including rabbit monoclonal antibody development, therapeutic drugs discovery targeting EGFR family receptor, and the generation of iPSC-derived neurons. Since she joined MGH in 2012, she has successfully generated more than one hundred iPSCs, NPCs, and neurons from patients of various neurodevelopmental disorders and neuropsychiatric diseases, such as Pitt-Hopkins Syndrome. By using state-of-the-art iPSC technologies, she hopes we can one day discover the pathogenesis of these diseases and eventually find a cure for these neuronal disorders.

Jessica M. Thanos
Research Technologist

Jessica graduated with a BS in Biology from Emmanuel College. Prior to joining the Perlis lab, she studied mood and autism spectrum disorders using animal models. In the long-term, she hopes to pursue a graduate degree and study the neurodevelopmental basis for mental illness. Her hobbies include scuba diving, manual photography, and playing with her two dogs.

If you are interested in applying for a position in this lab, please ask us about our favorite place to get donuts!

We are currently recruiting patients diagnosed with a variety of neuropsychiatric disorders, including depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia.

Please call the research coordinator at 617-643-6310 or contact us by email to see if you might be eligible to participate in a study.

The Use of Human Skin in the Creation of Cellular Models of Neuropsychiatric Disorders

The purpose of this research study is to collect, process and store samples to do research on neuropsychiatric disorders. This research study looks at changes in the human body associated with neuropsychiatric disorders. Part of this study involves the collection of skin and blood samples that will be stored in a tissue bank for later use. Research using these samples will attempt to identify causes and what helps prevent, treat, or cure neuropsychiatric disorders. In addition, the samples collected for this study will be used for genetic research on these diseases.

Using Mobile Phones for Social and Behavioral Sensing of Mood Disorder Patients

In this research study, a smartphone app collects data over an 8-week period of time. We are interested in recruiting people who have had a wide range of mood symptoms or psychiatric symptoms, as well as people who have never experienced those kinds of symptoms.  It is our hope that by collecting this information, we can better understand how people’s mood changes over time and how these changes may be correlated to phone usage (e.g., texting and calling patterns), which could ultimately lead to better management of symptoms.

Support

Current and past CQH studies are supported by funding from NIMH, NARSAD, the National Science Foundation, AHRQ, the Stanley Center for Psychiatric Research at the Broad Institute, the American Philosophical Society, the Bowman Family Foundation, and the Sidney J.
