Cal Adler

Cal Adler is a Professor of Psychiatry and Neuroscience at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine. He serves as Vice Chair of Clinical Research and Director of the Center for Imaging Research. His work focuses on neuroimaging techniques to investigate healthy cognitive processes and the neuropathophysiology of bipolar and psychotic disorders, with a particular emphasis on psychopharmacologic treatments.

• B.S., Pennsylvania State University
• M.D., Thomas Jefferson University
• Psychiatry Residency, Georgetown University Medical Center
• Experimental Therapeutics Fellowship, National Institute of Mental Health

Research Interests: Dr. Adler specializes in neuroimaging studies of bipolar disorder, including longitudinal analyses of brain structure/function, medication response mechanisms, and risk prediction models for youth offspring of bipolar parents. His work bridges psychiatric neurobiology with advanced imaging modalities like fMRI, MRS, and DTI.

Publication Trends: His articles (2015-2021) focus on

• Neurochemical alterations in bipolar disorder
• Predictive modeling of treatment response
• Brain connectivity in mood episodes
• Lithium and antipsychotic effects
• Cortical thickness and white matter integrity
• AI applications in neurotrauma outcomes

Scientific Awards: None explicitly listed in the text.

Grants: Major funding includes NIH grants (K23, R01, ARRA supplements) for studies on neuroimaging markers of bipolar treatment response, glutamatergic neurotransmission, and multimodal imaging in adolescent mania. He has also received private foundation support from the National Alliance for Research on Schizophrenia and Affective Disorders.
