UCSD Department of Psychiatry 50th Anniversary Symposium - Day 1 - Session 3: Research on Alcohol, Drugs, and Related Conditions - Clearing the Smoke on Medical Marijuana: The Center for Medicinal Cannabis Research by Igor Grant, MD, FRCP. Igor Grant, MD, FRCP Distinguished Professor, Department of Psychiatry Director, HIV Neurobehavioral Research Program Director, Center for Medicinal Cannabis Research University of California, San Diego https://profiles.ucsd.edu/igor.grant https://grant.hivresearch.ucsd.edu https://www.cmcr.ucsd.edu https://hnrp.hivresearch.ucsd.edu Dr. Igor Grant is Distinguished Professor and director of the HIV Neurobehavioral Research Program and the Center for Medicinal Cannabis Research at the University of California San Diego (UCSD). Dr. Grant served as Chair of the UCSD Department of Psychiatry from 2014-2019. He is a neuropsychiatrist who graduated from the University of British Columbia School of Medicine (1966), and received specialty training in psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania (1967-1971), and additional training in neurology at the Institute of Neurology (Queen Square) (1980-1981), London, U.K. Dr. Grant’s academic interests focus on the effects of various diseases on brain and behavior, with an emphasis on translational studies in HIV, and drugs of abuse. He has contributed to approximately 700 scholarly publications and is principal investigator of several NIH studies, including a NIDA P50 (Translational Methamphetamine AIDS Research Center – TMARC), and is co-director of the HIV Neurobehavioral Research Center (HNRC). UCSD Department of Psychiatry Homepage https://medschool.ucsd.edu/som/psychi... Fifty years ago, a new medical school at the University of California, San Diego recruited a 35-year old neuroscientist-psychiatrist, Arnold J. Mandell, MD, to establish the country’s newest department of psychiatry. Mandell’s vision was to create a community of scholars, educators, and clinicians who understood that to make advances in the causes, mechanisms, treatment, and prevention of mental illness one needed to begin with the neurobiological bases of these disorders and link such insights to diagnosis and treatment. Mandell therefore put the department on a new path, a biologically rooted but translationally oriented multidisciplinary department. Our second Chair, Lewis L. Judd, MD, built on this concept and through careful recruiting of talented scientists, educators, and clinicians, developed what came to be regarded as one of the finest departments of psychiatry in the world. The science of this department expanded from investigations of the traditional mental disorders, such as schizophrenia, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, and dementias to multidisciplinary investigations of the role of brain conditions in important medical disorders such as HIV/AIDS. From a scientific standpoint, a relatively young department became one of the three best funded research departments in the country, while developing 25 discipline specific and multidisciplinary training programs. The clinical enterprise has also flourished and now includes world class programs in the treatment of eating disorders, early psychosis, and many others. This 50th year celebration of the science, education, and clinical work of the department is a moment of both happy self-reflection, and consideration of paths forward. I hope you enjoy the program, and join me in the celebration.
