Analysis of Mitochondrial DNA Variants and Their Association With Brain Structural Measures in Bipolar Disorder
Dr. Ana Mendes-Silva is a postdoctoral research fellow in the Department of Molecular Brain Science at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH), Toronto. Her research interests focus on addressing the gaps in our current understanding of how mitochondrial dysfunction contributes to psychiatric disorders by surveying mitochondrial DNA variants with the ultimate goal of improving mitochondria-targeted therapies. Currently, Dr. Mendes-Silva is investigating whether mitochondrial DNA variants are associated with structural brain changes in psychosis spectrum disorders. For her work, Ana has received the 2022-2023 Womenmind Fellowship Award, 2021-2022 Discovery Fund Fellowship Award, 2022 American College of Neuropsychopharmacology (ACNP) Travel Award, among others.
