John A. Joska is a Head of the Division of Neuropsychiatry
in the Department of Psychiatry and Mental Health at the University
of Cape Town. He is the Director of the UCT HIV Mental Health
Research Unit, and the Western Cape Provincial Programme Manager
for HIV Psychiatry. His interests are in HIV and Mental Health,
particularly mechanisms of HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders,
mental health services, and general neuropsychiatry. John completed
both under- and post-graduate training at UCT. Following completion
of his fellowship in psychiatry in 2002, he obtained the Mmed
(psychiatry) in 2006, and his Ph D in the Neurocognitive Disorders
of HIV in 2011. John has been involved in several innovative
research projects, including the development of assertive community
outreach programmes in the Province, and the development of a
smartphone application to assist primary health care providers to
assess for the presence of dementia. His group was recently funded
to conduct a randomized controlled trial of lithium in
HIV-associated dementia. He is excited by the opportunities and
challenges provided by working in Cape Town, South Africa.
Dan J Stein is Professor and Chair of the Dept of Psychiatry
and Mental Health at the University of Cape Town, Director of the
Medical Research Council (MRC) Unit on Anxiety Disorders, and
Visiting Professor of Psychiatry at Mt. Sinai Medical School
in New York. He is interested in the psychobiology and
management of the anxiety, obsessive-compulsive and related, and
traumatic and stress disorders. He has also mentored work in
other areas that are of particular relevance to South Africa and
Africa, including neuro HIV/AIDS and substance use disorders.
Dan did his undergraduate and medical degrees at the University of
Cape Town, and his doctorate (in the area of clinical neuroscience)
at the University of Stellenbosch. He trained in psychiatry,
and completed a post-doctoral fellowship (in the area of
psychopharmacology) at Columbia University in New York. His
training also includes a doctorate in philosophy. He is
inspired by the way in which psychiatry integrates science and
humanism, and contributes to addressing some of the big questions
posed by life.
Dan’s work ranges from basic neuroscience, through clinical
investigations and trials, and on to epidemiological and
cross-cultural studies. He is enthusiastic about the
possibility of clinical practice and scientific research that
integrates theoretical concepts and empirical data across these
different levels. Having worked for many years in South
Africa, he is also enthusiastic about establishing integrative
approaches to services, training, and research in the context of a
low and-middle-income country.
