Psychiatry Resident

Biography

Kaustubh Kulkarni, MD, PhD, is a psychiatry resident in the Neuroscience Research Training Program (NRTP). He earned his bachelor's in Neuroscience, with minors in Computer Science and Philosophy, from Rutgers University. He then completed his MD and PhD in the Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP) at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.

Broadly, Kaustubh is interested in how disruptions in brain architecture drive psychiatric disorders through changes in cognitive and affective processing. His research aims to utilize computational and statistical modeling, in combination with brain imaging, to infer aberrent mental processes underlying psychiatric dysfunction, with a focus on identifying diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets for addictive disorders.

Kaustubh is interested in interventional treatment modalities, including transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU), and ketamine-based therapies to treat refractory psychiatric illness. Additionally, he is committed to evidence-based psychotherapy, with a particular interest in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). At Yale, he aims to continue bridging basic neuroscience and clinical psychiatry to inform novel, personalized interventions for complex mental illness.
