Ian A. Cook, M.D. is an Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Biobehavioral Sciences in the David Geffen School of Medicine, and is a Research Scientist at the UCLA Neuropsychiatric Institute. Dr. Cook's clinical focus is improvements in the treatment of mood and cognitive disorders. His research projects use measures of brain structure (MRI) and of brain function (EEG, fMRI, PET) to understand better the factors that influence an individual patient's response to treatment, whether that treatment involves medications, psychotherapy, or complementary/alternative medicine interventions. Dr. Cook received his bachelors degree with high honors from Princeton University and his medical degree from the Yale University School of Medicine. He completed his psychiatry residency training at UCLA's Neuropsychiatric Institute, where he also was an NIMH-funded research fellow. Dr. Cook serves on the Executive Committee on Practice Guidelines of the American Psychiatric Association, and leads their work in electronic dissemination of evidence-based guidelines in psychiatry. A board-certified Psychiatrist, he has also served as an examiner for the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. His biography is profiled in Who's Who in America and Who's Who in the World. He is the author of numerous publications on brain function in mental illness and in aging, and holds four patents on biomedical devices and methods.
