Nicole DellaGioia is a Researcher at Yale University's Yale School of Medicine, affiliated with the Department of Psychiatry. Her work focuses on neurobiological mechanisms underlying mental health disorders, particularly depression, PTSD, and bipolar disorder. She employs advanced imaging techniques like PET to study metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluR5), synaptic density, and drug effects (e.g., ketamine). Her research bridges neuroscience and clinical psychiatry, aiming to identify biomarkers and therapeutic targets.
Her studies investigate how mGluR5 dysregulation relates to suicidal ideation, nicotine use in psychiatric disorders, and differential treatment responses. Collaborations with experts like Dr. John Krystal and Dr. Irina Esterlis highlight her role in interdisciplinary mental health research. Recent work emphasizes synaptic plasticity and mood symptom correlations, contributing to translational neuroscience.
