Eric R. Kandel, MD Eric R. Kandel, M.D., is University Professor at Columbia, Fred Kavli Professor and Director, Kavli Institute for Brain Science and a Senior Investigator at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. A graduate of Harvard College and N.Y.U. School of Medicine, Kandel trained in Neurobiology at the NIH and in Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. He joined the faculty of the College of Physicians and Surgeons at Columbia University in 1974 as the founding director of the Center for Neurobiology and Behavior. At Columbia Kandel organized the neuroscience curriculum. He is an editor of Principles of Neural Science, the standard textbook in the field. He recently has written a book on the brain for the general public entitled In Search of Memory: The Emergence of a New Science of Mind, which won both the L.A. Times and U.S. National Academy of Science Awards for best book in Science and Technology in 2008. A documentary film based on that book also entitled In Search of Memory is now showing in the United States. Eric Kandel’s research has been concerned with the molecular mechanisms of memory storage in Aplysia and mice. More recently, he has studied animal models in mice of memory disorders and mental illness. Kandel has received eighteen honorary degrees, is a member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences as well as the National Science Academies of Austria, Germany and France. He has been recognized with the Albert Lasker Award, the Heineken Award of the Netherlands, the Gairdner Award of Canada, the Harvey Prize and the Wolf Prize of Israel, the National Medal of Science USA and the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 2000, which he shared with Paul Greengard and Arvid Carlsson.

BBRF is the world’s largest private funder of mental health research grants, supporting transformative discoveries in order to develop improved treatments, cures, and methods of prevention for our loved ones. CONTENTS Mission 4 BBRF Events 28 Leadership Letter 6 The Research Partners Program 42 Important Advancements 8 Team Up for Research 50 BBRF Scientific Council 12 2019 Donor Listing 52 2019 Leading Research Achievements 14 Getting the Word Out 76 BBRF Grants 18 Financial Summary 78 2019 Grants by Illness 20 The Research We Fund We invest in innovative research because we believe that only by pursuing the boldest and most ambitious ideas will we find better treatments, cures, and methods of prevention for mental illness. We are at the Forefront of Critical Discoveries Since 1987, the Brain & Behavior Research Foundation has awarded more than $408 million in grants that have led to discoveries that change the way we think about recovery. BBRF-funded research has contributed to: • FDA approval of the first rapid-acting antidepressants (esketamine and brexanalone) to alleviate severe depression symptoms within hours. • Dietary supplements for pregnant women to potentially help prevent subsequent mental illness in the child. • Development of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and continued improvement of TMS and other non-invasive brain stimulation treatments for treatment-resistant depression and obsessive compulsive disorder. • Computer-guided training for cognitive remediation in people with schizophrenia. MISSION The Brain & Behavior Research Foundation is committed to alleviating the suffering caused by mental illness by awarding grants that will lead to advances and breakthroughs in scientific research.

  • List of Nobel Laureates 1
    List of Nobel laureates 1 List of Nobel laureates The Nobel Prizes (Swedish: Nobelpriset, Norwegian: Nobelprisen) are awarded annually by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, the Swedish Academy, the Karolinska Institute, and the Norwegian Nobel Committee to individuals and organizations who make outstanding contributions in the fields of chemistry, physics, literature, peace, and physiology or medicine.[1] They were established by the 1895 will of Alfred Nobel, which dictates that the awards should be administered by the Nobel Foundation. Another prize, the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences, was established in 1968 by the Sveriges Riksbank, the central bank of Sweden, for contributors to the field of economics.[2] Each prize is awarded by a separate committee; the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awards the Prizes in Physics, Chemistry, and Economics, the Karolinska Institute awards the Prize in Physiology or Medicine, and the Norwegian Nobel Committee awards the Prize in Peace.[3] Each recipient receives a medal, a diploma and a monetary award that has varied throughout the years.[2] In 1901, the recipients of the first Nobel Prizes were given 150,782 SEK, which is equal to 7,731,004 SEK in December 2007. In 2008, the winners were awarded a prize amount of 10,000,000 SEK.[4] The awards are presented in Stockholm in an annual ceremony on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel's death.[5] As of 2011, 826 individuals and 20 organizations have been awarded a Nobel Prize, including 69 winners of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences.[6] Four Nobel laureates were not permitted by their governments to accept the Nobel Prize.
