Gustavo Costa Medeiros

Gustavo Costa Medeiros, MD, serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, conducting clinical research focused on treatment-resistant depression (TRD) and precision psychiatry.

His educational background includes:

• MD from Ribeirão Preto Medical School, University of São Paulo, Brazil
• Medical Residency at Institute of Psychiatry, University of São Paulo, Brazil
• Medical Residency at University of Texas Southwestern (Dallas, TX) & University of Maryland/Sheppard Pratt
• Postdoctoral Fellowship at The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine

Dr. Medeiros specializes in identifying clinical and biological variables (e.g., brain-based and peripheral biomarkers) to personalize treatment matching for TRD patients. His research vision prioritizes developing clinician-friendly predictive tools that bridge research-practice gaps in real-world psychiatric settings, with core interests spanning mood disorders, major depression, bipolar depression, and precision medicine methodologies.

His recent publications (2020-2023) demonstrate consistent focus on biomarker discovery for antidepressant response, particularly regarding ketamine/esketamine mechanisms and childhood maltreatment impacts. These works predominantly utilize systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and multimodal biomarker approaches across neuroimaging, blood-based, and immunological domains to advance TRD stratification.
