Locally advanced prostate cancer (where a tumour has extended outside the prostate gland to surrounding tissues) affects 4000 men per year in the UK. Prior to the underpinning research, there was no consensus on the standard of care, with hormone therapy often being given alone. Professor Malcolm Mason, Cancer Research Wales Professor of Clinical Oncology at the School of Medicine, has led the UK arm of the research trial into prostate cancer since 1998, when he was appointed as the UK Chief Investigator, leading the study in this country for the Medical Research Council. Prostate cancer kills around 10,000 men in the UK every year.

  • AWARDS DINNER FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 1St the Pierre 2019 Celebrating Our Pardes Humanitarian Prizewinners and Outstanding Achievement Prizewinners WELCOME
    Brain & Behavior Research Foundation INTERNATIONAL AWARDS DINNER FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 1st The Pierre 2019 Celebrating our Pardes Humanitarian Prizewinners and Outstanding Achievement Prizewinners WELCOME Welcome to our 2019 International Awards Dinner. This year’s Pardes Humanitarian Prize in Mental Health honors Dr. William T. Carpenter, Jr., a member of the Brain & Behavior Research Foundation Scientific Council, and a BBRF prizewinner and grant recipient. Dr. Carpenter has been a transformative force in psychiatry for more than 40 years, dramatically changing how we treat schizophrenia, reduce stigma, and enhance the ethics of treatment and research. Dr. Carpenter has taken a person-centered, rather than an illness-centered view of schizophrenia which has led to more compassionate care for people with this illness. He has played a critical role in shifting the focus of treatment to the earliest stages of the illness, when interventions may have their most profound impact and maximize the likelihood of recovery. The 2019 Honorary Pardes Humanitarian Prize in Mental Health is being award- ed to Cynthia Germanotta and Born This Way Foundation for their extraordinary accomplishments and their commitment to supporting the wellness of young people and empowering them to create a kinder and braver world. Bestowed annually since 2014, the Pardes Prize recognizes a person(s) or organization whose humanitarian work is transformative and of great magnitude, changing the lives and bringing the joy of living to those facing challenges to mental health. The Prize focuses public attention on the burden of mental illness on individuals and on society, and the urgent need to expand and enhance mental health services both in the developed world and in developing countries.

One solution involves asking parents about the adolescents’ symptoms in order to identify those in need of additional assessment. We aimed to identify a parsimonious combination of parent-reported symptoms that accurately detected offspring MDD. We used a multi-sample study comprising a development sample of 335 offspring of adults with recurrent MDD assessed on three occasions (mean age 12.4-14.8 years) and an independent validation sub-sample of 807 adolescents drawn from a general population cohort (mean age 13.1 years).
