Victor Reus

Victor I Reus is an American psychiatrist, academic and an author. He is an Emeritus Distinguished Professor at University of California, San Francisco.

Reus' research spans several decades and has contributed towards the understanding of the interplay between biological, psychological, and genetic factors in mental health, particularly in depression and related mood disorders. He co-invented a genetic method to identify, diagnose, classify, and personalize treatment for bipolar disorder using DNA polymorphisms within a specific region on the short arm of chromosome 18. He also received the 2009 Seymour Vestermark Psychiatry Educator Award from American Psychiatric Association. Provided by Wikipedia
