Dr. Goldstein’s research focuses on bipolar disorder. Adolescents with bipolar disorder, or those at high clinical and/or familial risk of bipolar disorder, comprise the primary subject group. The primary areas of inquiry are the overlap between bipolar disorder and cardiovascular disease (CVD), and the identification of biomarkers for use in the assessment, monitoring, and treatment of these patients.
Primary Goals:
- To identify biomarkers that can inform clinical decisions in the area of adolescent bipolar disorder
- To gain knowledge regarding biological factors underlying the association between bipolar disorder and cardiovascular disease
- To identify novel objective treatment targets in bipolar disorder using neuroimaging (MRI) and neurocognitive phenotypes
