Serge A Mitelman, MD
About Me
Dr. Mitelman is Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, where he has worked since 2000. He has served as director of Mount Sinai child and adolescent psychiatry inpatient services at Elmhurst Hospital Center since 2002. He completed his residency in psychiatry and fellowship in child and adolescent psychiatry at New York University School of Medicine – North Shore University Hospital, and research fellowship in neuroimaging and schizophrenia at Mount Sinai School of Medicine.
Dr. Mitelman’s research interests and experiences are primarily concerned with structural, functional, and molecular neuroimaging of schizophrenia and autism spectrum disorder, with emphasis on dopaminergic system and white matter. This includes a series of cross-sectional and longitudinal studies using both structural and diffusion tensor MRI to investigate neural correlates of individual differences in outcome and severity in subjects with schizophrenia, as well as direct comparisons of subjects with schizophrenia and autism spectrum disorder using structural MRI, diffusion tensor imaging, and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography. His ongoing research project utilizes a multimodal approach to evaluate both gray and white matter in a cohort of healthy and schizophrenia subjects with structural MRI, diffusion tensor imaging, 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose and 18F-fallypride positron emission tomography. This multimodal approach allows for investigation of interrelations between dopaminergic innervation, cerebral metabolism and axonal myelination in healthy human brain and in psychopathology. Other current projects investigate the role of dopamine receptors in cognition, including language production and comprehension, and AI learning methods to evaluate clinicians’ emotional response to suicidality. Dr. Mitelman’s research was featured on the cover of the scientific journal NeuroImage, published under the aegis of the Organization for Human Brain Mapping. He also chaired symposia at international scientific meetings, including World Congresses of Biological Psychiatry and International Congress on Schizophrenia Research. Dr. Mitelman received Young Investigator Award from the Brain and Behavior Research Foundation (NARSAD) and research support from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH).
