  Randy P. Auerbach, Ph.D., ABPP is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, and at McLean Hospital, he serves as the Director of Clinical Research for the Simches Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry as well as the Director of the Child and Adolescent Mood Disorders Laboratory. Dr. Auerbach received his B.A. from Cornell University (2000) and his Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from McGill University (2010), and he completed his clinical internship at McLean Hospital – Harvard Medical School (2010). His primary program of research is aimed at identifying psychosocial, behavioral, and neurobiological factors that render certain children, adolescents, and young adults vulnerable to experience depressive symptoms and episodes. The research is multi-disciplinary and utilizes a multimodal approach for assessment (e.g., laboratory-based experiments, EEG, fMRI) to determine why depressive symptoms unfold, how self-injurious and suicidal behaviors develop, and what changes in the brain during treatment. As a whole, the research aims to better understand the putative mechanisms that may improve early identification of and treatment for adolescent depression. This work is funded by grants from the National Institute of Mental Health, the Klingenstein Third Generation Foundation, the Dana Foundation: Clinical Neuroscience Research Grant, and several private foundations, and to date, it has resulted in over 80 published scientific papers and book chapters.
