Post by Jeesung Ahn, Ph.D.

I had the honor of being selected as a Rising Star presenter at the Society of Biological Psychiatry (SOBP) 2026! 🌟 I presented our work on a pipeline that uses fMRI-measured brain circuit dysfunctions to guide personalized depression treatment. This talk built on my recent publication in Biological Psychiatry, which is now fully available online: https://lnkd.in/ggBTyCTr We’re now expanding this work at the Stanford Center for Precision Mental Health (PMH) toward a more comprehensive and clinically actionable framework for personalized treatment matching. The ultimate goal is to help match each depression patient to the right treatment at the right time, based on their unique brain profile. A huge thank you to SOBP for this opportunity, to my mentor Dr. Leanne Williams and my collaborators, and to everyone who came to my talk and joined the conversation. I’m excited to keep pushing this work forward! #PrecisionPsychiatry #fMRI #DepressionResearch #SOBP2026
