EXPERTS: Rachel Klein, PhD, Daniel Pine, MD, Chad Sylvester, MD, PhD
The 2024 On the Shoulders of Giants Scientific Symposium will explore the rapidly evolving landscape of anxiety care and the transformative potential of next-generation treatments.
The event will honor the work of this year’s winner of the Sarah Gund Prize for Research and Mentorship in Child Mental Health, Rachel Klein, PhD. She is a leading expert in the diagnosis and treatment of anxiety disorders and ADHD. Joining her are her two distinguished proteges: Daniel Pine, MD, and Chad Sylvester, MD, PhD. Together, they will highlight recent breakthroughs in understanding anxiety disorders and their biological underpinnings — and critically assess the promise and pitfalls of innovative solutions such as brain games, virtual reality (VR), brain stimulation, and psychedelics.
Following the presentations, Caroline Hyde, host of Bloomberg TV’s daily technology show, will moderate a roundtable discussion featuring experts from psychiatry, neuroscience, and digital therapeutics who will examine the future of anxiety care and its implications for patients.
