Depression Research Program

The Depression Research Program is a developing program in the department that will provide the foundation for clinical research and clinical trials research in patients with depression. The clinical component of the Depression Research Program is the outpatient Depression Clinic at UT University Clinical Health. The program is developing a depression questionnaire database and will also take park in a genetic biorepository for patients with depression. We are in the processing of purchasing a Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation system with BrainSite navigation that can be used for depression research and we are developing opportunities for neuroimaging research in depression.
