Carrie E. Bearden

Carrie E. Bearden, PhD, is Associate Professor in the Departments of Psychiatry and Biobehavioral Sciences and Psychology at UCLA. Her research focus is on the identification of underlying genetic and biological vulnerability markers, or endophenotypes, for psychosis and mood disorder. Dr. Bearden has been using converging methodologies to study clinical high-risk samples and highly penetrant ‘genetic subtypes’ of these diseases (e.g, population isolates). She joined the UCLA faculty in 2003, and in 2005 obtained a K23 Career Development Award to obtain specialized training in genetic methodologies. Currently she co-directs the Neurogenetics track for the Neuroscience Interdepartmental PhD program and also serves as Director of the Prodromal Core in the Staglin Music Festival Center for the Assessment and Prevention of Prodromal States (CAPPS).
