To date I have published over 300 peer-reviewed articles relevant to my research focus, and those in recent five years received over 5000 citations. In particular, the MR imaging studies of first episode, medication free patients with mental disorders have been the basis for my invited reviews for journals in the field such as American Journal of Psychiatry (Gong et al. 2016; 173(3):232-43) and Biological Psychiatry (Gong et al. 2015; 77 (3), 223), and in particular, the one entitled " Psychoradiology: The Frontier of Neuroimaging in Psychiatry" has been published in Radiology (2016; 281:357–72）, the leading journal in the field of radiology. I was appointed as the associate editor of the American Journal of Psychiatry. I helped to pioneer the discovery of brain functional impairments in individuals at high risk of mental disorders and the translation of this new knowledge into predictive diagnostics for major depression. My work on multimodal characterization of schizophrenia was a selected subject for clinical CME training that helped to advance the use of MR imaging signatures/biomarkers to inform clinical management of mental health patients. Subsequent to the above accomplishments, I have been awarded with the NIBIB New Horizons Lectureship (only one out of 8000 members is selected each year) at the 23rd International Society of Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (ISMRM) Annual Meeting, where I presented on “Emerging MRI to Uncover the ‘Disordered Mind’: Are We in an Era of Psycho-Radiology?”, and I was elected as ISMRM Senior fellow in 2016. In 2019, I became one of the Highly Cited Researchers 2018 (cross field) by Clariate Analytics.
