About

Biography

I am Graham Bartels, PhD, assistant professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health at The Ohio State University College of Medicine, and I specialize in depression research. My research focuses on advancing our understanding of depression and identifying evidence-based approaches that improve mental health outcomes for individuals and communities.

Through my research, I explore factors that contribute to depression and investigate strategies that can inform prevention, diagnosis and treatment. I am committed to generating knowledge that helps clinicians, health systems and communities better support individuals living with depression.

My work emphasizes collaborative, patient-centered research that bridges scientific discovery and clinical impact. By partnering with colleagues across disciplines, I seek to translate research findings into meaningful advances in mental healthcare and improve the lives of people affected by depression.

In addition to my research activities, I contribute to the academic mission of the Ohio State College of Medicine through mentorship, education and collaboration with trainees and fellow investigators. I value opportunities to work with research partners who share a commitment to advancing the understanding and treatment of depression.
