Dr. Felipe A. Jain, MD, is Director of Healthy Aging Studies at the Massachusetts General Hospital’s Depression Clinical and Research Program.  He is Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, where he serves on the MD Board of Advisors for the Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology.  His research focuses on guided imagery and mindfulness practices for the treatment of depression and anxiety, and biomarkers that may be used to personalize treatment.  Research funding from the National Institutes of Health (National Institute on Aging) and private foundations has enabled him to develop a “second generation” mindfulness treatment approach, Mentalizing Imagery Therapy, which seeks to improve personal well-being, increase emotional intelligence and promote healthy relationships.  Along with studying the therapeutic benefit of this approach, Dr. Jain investigates how guided imagery and mindfulness practices affect neural circuitry using functional magnetic resonance imaging.
