Biography
Dr. James Murrough is a Board-certified psychiatrist and a research fellow in the Mount Sinai School of Medicine Mood and Anxiety Disorders Program within the Department of Psychiatry. Dr. Murrough conducts experimental therapeutics and clinical neuroscience research in major depression, among other mood and anxiety disorders. Current focuses of his research include investigations of ketamine in treatment-resistant depression and brain mechanisms of antidepressant response measured using functional neuroimaging.

Industry Relationships
Physicians and scientists on the faculty of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai often interact with pharmaceutical, device and biotechnology companies to improve patient care, develop new therapies and achieve scientific breakthroughs. In order to promote an ethical and transparent environment for conducting research, providing clinical care and teaching, Mount Sinai requires that salaried faculty inform the School of their relationships with such companies.
Dr. Murrough did not report having any of the following types of financial relationships with industry during 2012 and/or 2013: consulting, scientific advisory board, industry-sponsored lectures, service on Board of Directors, participation on industry-sponsored committees, equity ownership valued at greater than 5% of a publicly traded company or any value in a privately held company. Please note that this information may differ from information posted on corporate sites due to timing or classification differences.
Mount Sinai's faculty policies relating to faculty collaboration with industry are posted on our website at http://icahn.mssm.edu/about-us/services-and-resources/faculty-resources/handbooks-and-policies/faculty-handbook. Patients may wish to ask their physician about the activities they perform for companies.
