“I am extremely proud of our department faculty,” said John Krystal, MD, Robert L. McNeil, Jr. Professor of Translational Research and Professor of Psychiatry, of Neuroscience, and of Psychology, and chair of the Yale Department of Psychiatry. “This level of NIH support is remarkable. It speaks to the quality and impact of our work, but also their dedication to science and the effort to alleviate the distress and disability associated with mental illness and addiction.”
