Fries, Ph.D., is a translational researcher in the field of biological psychiatry. His research focuses on the epigenetic basis of mood disorders, with a particular interest in bipolar disorder and molecular mechanisms of stress. Dr. Fries' studies use basic science and investigation of cells, (epi)genomes and clinical datasets to better understand disease mechanisms and transmission, with the ultimate goal of designing novel medications and improving the lives of patients. Dr. Fries received his Master's degree and his Ph.D. in Biochemistry from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. He also completed a research fellowship at the Max Planck Institute of Psychiatry in Germany, before joining the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences in April 2015 as a postdoctoral research fellow. He is currently an instructor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, where he collaborates with basic and clinical investigators on the search for the genetic and epigenetic underpinnings of severe mental illnesses. He has published over 80 peer-reviewed articles and received awards for his work from multiple scientific societies, including the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology (ACNP), the International Society for Bipolar Disorders (ISBD) and the International College of Neuropsychopharmacology (CINP).  Publications/Creative Works Click here to search for this faculty member's publications on PubMed.  Appointments Title Department / School Institution Assistant Professor Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences UT Health Science Center at Houston
