Dr. Akira Sawa is a psychiatrist and neuroscientist at Johns Hopkins University and Hospital in Maryland, the United States.
Sawa graduated from University of Tokyo and received his M.D. degree in 1990. He initially completed clinical training in psychiatry and research training in molecular neuroscience under Dr. Solomon H. Snyder at Johns Hopkins University.[1] Dr. Sawa then started his career as an independent faculty investigator at Johns Hopkins University and Hospital in 2002.[2]
Sawa belongs to multiple academic societies and charities as a Fellow, Council member, and Committee member, including the American Psychiatric Association (APA), the Society of Neuroscience (SFN), the Schizophrenia International Research Society (SIRS), the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology (ACNP), and the Brain Behavior Research Foundation (BBRF).[3]Dr. Sawa was also elected to the Association of American Physicians (AAP). Dr. Sawa also contributes to global scientific agencies and centers as an advisory member, such as those of the Medical Research Council (MRC) and Wellcome Trust in the UK. Based on Dr. Sawa’s training in both clinical psychiatry and basic molecular neuroscience,[4], the research program that he is organizing aims towards translational studies for major mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depressive disorder, with a particular emphasis on early detection and early intervention of these pathological conditions. The study coalition consists of a wide range of multidisciplinary investigators major in clinical psychiatry, molecular neuroscience, data and computational science, and genetics. The research group, including Dr. Sawa’s own laboratory, is funded by multiple sources, including the grant from NIH, non-profit foundations, and industrial partners. Dr. Sawa and his own laboratory are pursuing critical mediators that define the progression of major mental illnesses.
