Life

Mazda Adli, son of an Iranian diplomatic family, studied human medicine at the University of Bonn between 1989 and 1992 . He then studied human medicine in Vienna and Paris between 1992 and 1995 . At the Neurological University Clinic in Vienna, he wrote a dissertation on the subject of non-invasive lateral determination of language dominance: an investigation based on event-related potentials under the supervision of Wilfried Lang. After completing his studies, he worked as a research assistant and assistant doctor at the Clinic for Psychiatry and Psychotherapy at the Free University of Berlin . From 2004 Adli worked as a senior physician at the Clinic for Psychiatry and Psychotherapy, Charité, Campus Mitte, and since 2006 as head of the affective disorders research department. Since 2008 he has also been the head of the Berlin Science Network Depression. The habilitation followed in 2010; Adli has been teaching at university since 1997 as part of the standard, reform and model course in human medicine in Berlin. In the summer of 2013 he took over the medical management of the Fliedner Clinic Berlin as chief physician.

Adli is a member of numerous specialist societies and research associations; these include the Competence Network Depression, the Working Group for Neuropsychopharmacology and Pharmacopsychiatry, the German Society for Psychiatry and Psychotherapy, Psychosomatics and Neurology (DGPPN), the International Consortium on Lithium Genetics, the Association of Leading Hospital Doctors in Germany , the German Society for Biological Psychiatry, the Berlin Society for Psychiatry and Neurology as well as the International Group for the Study of Lithium Treated Patients, in whose framework he is treasurer.

His clinical and scientific work mainly includes the development and treatment of affective disorders. The focus here is on the investigation of strategies to avoid and overcome therapy-resistant depression, the research for genetic response predictors, which should contribute to improved treatment planning and the development of personalized therapy strategies for patients with depressive disorders, and the identification of factors influencing the individual stress reaction . The main focus of the latter is on the factor of urbanity and its more intensive investigation, which is why he initiated the establishment of the Interdisciplinary Forum Neurourbanism, an interdisciplinary and inter-university working group in the fields of psychology, medicine, urban research, architecture, sociology and philosophy: In June 2018 the research project was honored as an “Excellent Place in the Land of Ideas”.
