Keynote Speaker
Hirofumi Morishita, MD, PhD, is a Professor of Psychiatry, Neuroscience and Ophthalmology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. He is also a faculty member of the Mindich Child Health & Development Institute and Friedman Brain Institute. Dr. Morishita received his PhD from Osaka University after Psychiatry residency at National Center Hospital of Neurology and Psychiatry in Tokyo and medical school training at Kyushu University (MD).
