Joshua Roffman, MD, MMSc - Principal Investigator, Program Director
Dr. Joshua Roffman is a psychiatrist and neuroscientist who studies the biological underpinnings of serious mental illness (SMI). His longstanding goal has been to develop improved interventions for SMI through multimodal brain imaging, genomics, and clinical trials. Following work by Dr. Roffman and his team that demonstrated neuroprotective effects of folic acid in both schizophrenia and normal brain development, his focus has shifted primarily to prevention. An Associate Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, Dr. Roffman also co-directs Mass General Neuroscience and the MGH Division of Psychiatric Neuroimaging, founded the Translational Neuroscience Training for Clinicians T32 fellowship, and serves as Editor in Chief of the Harvard Review of Psychiatry.

Leadership Team
Erin Dunn, ScD, MPH - Director of Public Health Studies
Dr. Erin Dunn is a social and psychiatric epidemiologist with expertise in genetics. Her research lab uses a developmental lens to understand the mechanisms that influence risk for mood disorders, with an emphasis on depression among women, children and adolescents. Her primary focus is on the role of early environmental exposures, especially childhood adversity. She uses her post-doctoral training in genetics to study the role of genetic variation as well as gene-environment interplay (GxE). Having started her career in early childhood and elementary education, she also studies the role of schools and other social contexts, such as neighborhoods, where youth spend the majority of their time outside of the family. Her work adopts a translational epidemiology perspective, seeking to bridge the “micro” with the “macro.” The long-term goal of her work is to reduce the population-burden of depression by developing population-based prevention strategies and targeting these strategies to specific life stages in development when they could have the greatest impact. While she will maintain a part-time appointment at MGH, as of Summer 2024, she will be transitioning to Purdue University, where she will be a professor of sociology focusing in sociogenomics.
