Snapshot

My primary area of research investigates randomized controlled trials of behavioral interventions for older adults with mood disorders, anxiety, and cognitive disorders. I have 170 peer-reviewed papers, have obtained $3.2M in peer-reviewed research funding and $2.1M in charitable, corporate, and governmental funding as principal investigator, and have mentored more than 90 graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, psychiatry residents, and other trainees.

Major Research Activities

Dr. Soham Rej’s research laboratory investigates:

 

a)  Clinical trials to improve mood, anxiety, and cognitive disorders in older adults with three foci:

  • Mind-body Interventions (Mindfulness, Meditation, Tai Chi, Yoga, Exercise, Health Education);
  • Technology-Assisted Behavioral Interventions (e.g. Virtual Reality, Zoom);
  • Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy (Ketamine, Psilocybin).

b)  The Epidemiology of Older Age Bipolar Disorder using the Global Aging in Geriatric Bipolar Disorder Database (GAGE-BD). I am one of 4 main investigators for this project with n≥ 4500 participants, and >34 sites.

 

c) The Neuroscience of Expert Meditators.
