Dr. Hilary Blumberg (born in 1962) is a medical doctor, who specializes in neuroscience and psychiatry. Blumberg is also a John and Hope Furth Professor of Psychiatry at the Yale School of Medicine. She is also a professor of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging and works in the Child Study Center at Yale where she has been a faculty member since 1998. Additionally, Dr. Hilary Blumberg is the director of the Mood Disorder Research Program. Blumberg has authored many scientific articles that mainly contain information on her research and knowledge on bipolar disorder, neuroimaging, and genetic variations.

Biography
Ensure that the following sections are organized by year. For instance, the section Marriage and children might be presented before or after the Expanded descriptions, and vice versa.

Early life
Dr. Blumberg grew up in New York, with her two parents, Doris and Arnold Blumberg, and her sister, Denise Blumberg, who would also go on to become a doctor. She married her husband, John Solder, in 1990, with whom she had two children with John Solder Jr., 27 years old, and Alex Solder, 24 years old, are her two children.

Education
Dr. Blumberg completed both her undergraduate and doctoral degrees at extremely prestigious universities. In 1986, she completed her Bachelor of Arts at Harvard University in Neuroscience. She dedicated the next four years of her life at medical school, where she graduated from Cornell University Medical College in 1990, obtained her Doctor of Medicine degree. In order to reach the point where Dr. Blumberg, and any other medical doctor have achieved, a minimum of a four year internship/residency encompasses the next step of the journey. Dr. Blumberg completed her internship and residency in 1994 at Cornell University Medical College/New York Hospital. Furthermore, in order to work in a particular speciality, such as orthopaedics, neuroscience, cardiovascular, or numerous others, an additional fellowship must be completed. Clearly leaving her mark at Cornell University, she again completed another form of education at Cornell University, this time at Weill Medical College in 1998, where she completed her Research Fellow.

Expanded description
Dr. Blumberg is a John and Hope Furth Professor of Psychiatric Neuroscience and Professor of Psychiatry at the Yale School of Medicine.

Dr. Blumberg is also in the Child Study Center and of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging at the Yale School of Medicine.

She is the Director of the Mood Disorders Research Program at Yale School of Medicine. 

Mood Disorders Research Program
The Yale Mood Disorders Research Program (MDRP) is dedicated to understanding the science of mood disorders, including bipolar disorder (manic-depressive illness) and depression. The MDRP brings together a multi-disciplinary group of scientists from across the Yale campus in a highly collaborative research effort. It uses a wide variety of scientific methods to study how genetic and environmental factors affect the brain and lead to the development of mood disorders. The goals of the MDRP include the identification of biological markers for mood disorders and the discovery of new treatment strategies. The program hopes that these research efforts will lead to new and improved methods for early detection and treatment, and someday prevention, of mood disorders.

Currently, Dr. Blumberg is working on a 12-Week Talk Therapy Program, which is aimed at suicide prevention. Talk therapy is an effective treatment for mental disorders and illnesses that can lead to suicidal thoughts or actions.
