Adult Psychiatry
Care for the whole patient is the heart of our clinical mission. Our expertise in more than a dozen specialties draws on a century of experience as well as cutting-edge research.
Child and Adolescent Psychiatry
This birthplace of child psychiatry continues to advance the field with expert treatment and innovative research to improve the futures of children and teens.
Substance Use Disorder
Our clinical expertise in treating a range of substance use disorders and co-occurring conditions is based on decades of commitment and pioneering research.
Genetic Syndrome of Intellectual Disability Fixed in Mice Using Precision Epigenome Editing
Released: December 11, 2019. Using a targeted gene epigenome editing approach in the developing mouse brain, Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers reversed one gene mutation that leads to the genetic disorder WAGR syndrome, which causes intellectual disability and obesity in people. This specific editing was unique in that it changed the epigenome — how the genes are regulated — without changing the actual genetic code of the gene being regulated.
Seeking Knowledge to Cure and Prevent
Our clinical research programs range from efficacy and treatment-response studies to clinical trials and epidemiology. Our basic research encompasses bioinformatics, genetics, neuroscience, neuroimaging, and molecular biology - all in an effort to unlock the causal pathways to the major psychiatric conditions and to use this knowledge to develop practical means to improve diagnosis and treatment.
Professional Education
The depth of our clinical expertise and the breadth of our research programs allow us to train the next generation of psychiatrists and scientists to be clinical and research leaders. Our educational programs include medical student education, a general psychiatry residency, a child and adolescent psychiatry residency, and post-doctoral fellowship and research training opportunities.
