| Abstract: | (CIT): Dr. Levitt received his PhD degree in neuroscience at the University of California in San Diego. He completed a postdoctoral fellowship in neuroscience at Yale University School of Medicine in New Haven, CT. Named a McKnight Foundation Scholar in 2002, Dr. Levitt also is an elected Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the Chairman of the Scientific Advisory Board of Cure Autism Now. Dr. Levitt currently is a member of the Dana Alliance for Brain Initiatives, the National Scientific Council on the Developing Child, and is a member of the National Advisory Mental Health Council for the National Institute of Mental Health. He has received a number of research grants from the National Institutes of Health, the McKnight Endowment Fund, the Joseph and Esther Klingenstein Foundation, the March of Dimes and other foundations. Dr Levitt serves on the editorial board of Biological Psychiatry, Cerebral Cortex, Neuron, and was Senior Editor for the Journal of Neuroscience. Dr. Levitt has just been named director of the Zilkha Neurogenetic Institute at the Keck School of Medicine of USC. He also will serve as chair and professor of cell and neurobiology at the Keck School and the Provost"s Professor of Neuroscience, Psychiatry and Pharmacy at the USC School of Pharmacy, effective full-time July 1, 2009. Dr Levitt"s research interests are in the development of brain circuits that control learning and emotion. His clinical genetics and basic research studies focus on understanding the basis of neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric disorders, and how genes and the environment together influence neural development and disease.
