Dr. Nemeroff was cleared, Completely, of all charges and accussations, made by this Senator!

The senator, however was never, then, investgated for ruining a person's reputation, is that Defamation? The press, now being sued is not

giving this outcome the same coverage as they did to the Senators wild, awful, lies and accussations that as a unite they seemed more than happy to except and make public, without facts.

This article needs to be amended to reflect that Dr. Nemeroff was Cleared 100%.

This is the second time I am adding this note, maybe it wont evaperate this time, maybe it will. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Addiefleur (talk • contribs)


 * Do you have a published source that states Dr. Nemeroff was cleared completely of all charges and accusations by Senator Grassley? Jokestress (talk) 00:22, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

Factually disputed
Ann. Neurology says (free full text) that he "resigned from Emory", but this is misleading; he only resigned as chair of the department. He didn't give up his tenure. Xasodfuih (talk) 10:39, 31 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Dr. Nemeroff is still shown in the faculty directory on Emory's website, so this suggests it was just stepping down as department chair. SJFriedl (talk) 23:21, 25 April 2009 (UTC)


 * That's correct. Dr. Nemeroff "voluntarily resigned his department chairmanship" in 2008, and he had previously resigned as editor of Neuropsychopharmacology in 2006 after failing to disclose ties to a manufacturer whose products he endorsed in a study.

NPOV?
According to Thomas Insel (from At the NIH, conflicting stories of conflict of interest), Nemeroff "became the poster boy for conflict of interest." Ouch. I was hoping to add something positive to his biography.

It does appear however that this bio is a bit too focused on the negative aspects. That's what 75% of it covers. Perhaps adding some uncontroversial biographical info wouldn't hurt... Tijfo098 (talk) 18:24, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

The lead says he is "known for his work in treating depression." What were Nemeroff's contributions in this area? The body of the article doesn't specify. Tijfo098 (talk) 18:32, 31 October 2010 (UTC)


 * I agree that a basic encyclopedic approach is to have well-rounded biographical data. Noting this, has attempted to introduce some material. I will try and segment it out below. This user will likely be able to source some of the material: Casliber (talk · contribs) 01:29, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

Added bits to source

 * Dr. Nemeroff was born in New York City in 1949 and educated in the New York City Public School System.


 * ''After graduating from the City College of New York in 1970, he enrolled in graduate school at Northeastern University and received a Master's degree in Biology in 1973. He received his MD and PhD (Neurobiology) from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. His residency training in psychiatry was conducted at both the University of North Carolina and at Duke University, after which he joined the faculty of Duke University.  At Duke he was Professor of Psychiatry and Pharmacology and Chief of the Division of Biological Psychiatry before relocating in 1991 to Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta, Georgia, where he served as the Reunette W. Harris Professor and Chairman of the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences until 2008.  In 2009 he joined the University of Miami Leonard M. Miller School of Medicine as the Leonard M. Miller Professor and Chairman of the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences.


 * His research has concentrated on the biological basis of the major neuropsychiatric disorders, including affective disorders, schizophrenia, and anxiety disorders. His clinical research is focused on the use of genetic, neuroendocrine, neuroimaging and neurochemical methods to comprehensively understand the pathophysiology of depression.  In recent years he has uncovered the neurobiological mechanisms that mediate the increased risk for depression in victims of child abuse.  He has also contributed to seminal findings in the burgeoning area of research concerning the relationship of depression to cardiovascular disease.

Okay, these are some basic facts that were added. They can be reworded to align with sources once sources arise. Other items which would be good to add are any Review Articles which he authored maybe. Casliber (talk · contribs) 01:36, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

The discussions on this talk page seem rather old so I will start a new thread. The "ethical violations" section is a subjective title. I am changing it to "controversies" for now but will likely work it into the career section per WP:CSECTION once I have time to review more of the references. --CNMall41 (talk) 18:59, 26 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Just finished doing what I could. There isn't much out there about his work except for a few comments in the articles on his resignation from Emory. I did find a reference that supports his education and combined it with what was already there. Could probably introduce information about some of his research but those would be from primary sources or extracted from the actual research papers, ultimately amount to WP:OR. While not really necessary, maybe adding some of his publications as well. If anyone has any other suggestions, please ping me and I'll be back. --CNMall41 (talk) 23:09, 27 November 2017 (UTC)
