Teddy J. Akiki, MD
Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences (General Psychiatry and Psychology)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsDr. Akiki's research applies artificial intelligence to neuroimaging to improve psychiatric assessment and treatment selection, with a focus on depression, anxiety, and stress-related disorders. His program develops foundation models for functional MRI, pretrained on large neuroimaging datasets and adapted to predict treatment response and symptom trajectories in clinical populations. He also uses multimodal connectomics, combining structural, functional, and diffusion MRI, to characterize the circuit dysfunction underlying these disorders. His translational work centers on clinical trials of novel and repurposed treatments that target specific brain circuits, with neuroimaging used to measure circuit-level treatment effects and identify predictors of response. In parallel, he develops clinical decision support tools that translate an individual patient's neuroimaging into brain-based markers that clinicians can use in treatment planning.
