Andreas Reif (born 23 July 1971)[1] is a German psychiatrist. He is director of the Clinic for Psychiatry, Psychosomatics and Psychotherapy at the University Hospital Frankfurt.
Life
[edit]Reif studied human medicine at the Julius Maximilian University of Würzburg and received his doctorate there at the Institute of Pharmacology. He then completed his specialist training as a psychiatrist in the clinic for psychiatry, psychosomatics and psychotherapy there, first under H. Beckmann and then under J. Deckert. He started his scientific career in Klaus-Peter Lesch's working group for molecular psychiatry, where he mainly dealt with the genetics of mental illnesses. In 2009 he completed his habilitation on the role of NO synthase in mental illnesses and was appointed senior physician.
In 2008, he established a clinical focus on bipolar disorders at the Clinic for Psychiatry, Psychosomatics and Psychotherapy at the University Hospital of Würzburg. Shortly thereafter, in 2009, he was appointed W2 Professor for Psychiatry and deputy director of the Clinic and Polyclinic for Psychiatry, Psychosomatics and Psychotherapy at the University Hospital of Würzburg.
Since August 2014, Reif has been director of the Clinic for Psychiatry, Psychosomatics and Psychotherapy at the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main.
Andreas Reif's clinical interests primarily include affective disorders - particularly suicide prevention, treatment-resistant depression and bipolar disorder - as well as adult ADHD. His scientific focus is on the field of translational psychiatry: with his work he tries to understand mental illnesses from the molecule through the neural system to the disease itself. This should help to diagnose and treat mental illnesses more precisely and individually.
In 2018 he was elected a member of the Academia Europaea. Reif is the President-Elect of the European College of Neuropsychopharmacology (ECNP), assuming office for the term 2022–2025.[2]
