On October 24, 2025 the Department of Psychiatry will welcome Brian Mickey, MD, PhD from the University of Utah for a Special Guest Lecture.
Dr. Mickey is Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Utah. He studied physics and biology at the University of Washington, Seattle, then completed his MD and PhD in Neuroscience at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. After completing his psychiatry residency and a postdoctoral fellowship at the Molecular & Behavioral Neuroscience Institute, he joined the faculty at the University of Michigan. In 2015, he moved to the University of Utah, where he is a faculty member in Psychiatry, Neuroscience, Biomedical Engineering, and Anesthesiology. Dr. Mickey is a board-certified psychiatrist specializing in treatment-resistant mood disorders, and the use of pharmacologic treatments and brain stimulation interventions in the Treatment Resistant Mood Disorders Clinic at the Huntsman Mental Health Institute. The overall objectives of Dr. Mickey's lab are to understand how limbic and prefrontal brain circuits give rise to psychiatric problems such as depression, anxiety, and addiction, and to develop new circuit-targeted interventions that return the brain to a healthy state.
