Summary

  • Dr. Eric Wexler has been a psychiatrist in practice for over ten years, specializing in psychopharmacology and neuropsychiatry. Prior to entering private practice, he was engaged in both clinical care and basic science research at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) School of Medicine. There, he served as an attending physician on the inpatient geriatric psychiatry unit at the UCLA/ Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital, where his clinical focus was on mood and impulse control disorders, particularly in patients with often rare, inherited or autoimmune neurodegenerative diseases. His research focused on the following areas: understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying the effectiveness of common mood stabilizers like lithium, developing novel experimental models of neuropsychiatric disease (e.g., dementia or autism), and applying novel network (“big data”) analytic methods to the problem of understanding the signals that govern early nerve cell development.
