Info Capsule: Spotlight on Dr. Carl Ernst

The Department of Psychiatry would like to congratulate Dr. Carl Ernst for being the recipient of two recent awards:

the Canada Research Chair Tier 2 Award

and

the Douglas Hospital Induced-Pluripotent Stem Cell Laboratory for Cognitive Disorders Award

Dr. Ernst received his doctorate at McGill and completed his fellowship at Harvard Medical School. He joined the McGill Group for Suicide Studies at the Douglas Mental Health University Institute in 2011 and specializes in genomics, stem cell biology, advanced DNA sequencing, and epigenetics. He is also an enthusiastic Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and is the head of the Psychiatric Genetics Group (www.mcgill.ca/psychiatricgenetics).

"The CRC is a great opportunity to come back to Canada and focus on science. I appreciate the faith that McGill and particularly the Department of Psychiatry have in me.  I have now been here for just over a year and it has been great; the CRC  allowed for the development of my genetics and stem cell program.  Looking forward to carrying on the work I have started with great colleagues at the Douglas and McGill communities." -- Dr. Carl Ernst

Congratulations Carl!
