Gustavo Turecki (born May 11, 1965) is a Canadian psychiatrist, suicidologist, neuroscientist who is a professor at McGill University in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. He holds a Tier 1 Canada Research Chair Tier in Major Depressive Disorder and Suicide.[1] He is the sitting Chair of the Department of Psychiatry at McGill University,[2] the Scientific Director of the Douglas Research Centre,[3] and the Psychiatrist-in-Chief of the Centre intégré universitaire de santé et de services sociaux de l’Ouest-de-l’Île-de-Montréal (CIUSSS ODIM).[4] He works at the Douglas Mental Health University Institute, where he heads both the McGill Group for Suicide Studies[5] and the Depressive Disorders Program,[6] and is the co-director of the Douglas Bell-Canada Brain Bank.[7]
Turecki is both a clinician and a neuroscientist. He has published over 500 peer-reviewed publications and 30 book chapters[8] examining the influence of life experiences on brain function and their relationship to depression and suicide risk. One of his major contributions is the first description of the long-term impact of childhood abuse on the brain, particularly how it affects the activity of key genes involved in the stress response.[9]
