Collapse Overview

Dr. Dmitri Young is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the University of California, San Francisco, and a Staff Research Psychologist at the San Francisco VA Medical Center. His research focuses on understanding the genetic, neurobiological, and behavioral underpinnings of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), with particular attention to the neurological basis of trauma-related threat sensitivity and impulsivity. Research indicates that both threat sensitivity and impulsivity are connected to adverse outcomes such as aggression and risky behaviors in individuals with PTSD. Therefore, Dr. Young’s goal is to develop empirically supported, biologically based, personalized treatments that reduce harm and improve quality of life for those with PTSD. He has served as the Principal Investigator on multiple funded projects supported by the Department of Veterans Affairs, the National Institute of Mental Health, and other agencies.

Altmetrics Details PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.)Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication.Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
