Doctoral Student
Centre for Neuroscience Studies | Queen’s University

Arthi Chinna-Meyyappan is a Doctoral student in Dr. Roumen Milev’s Lab with the Centre for Neuroscience Studies and Department of Psychiatry at Queen’s University and a Research Trainee in the Pharmacogenetics Research Clinic. In her Master’s, Arthi designed and completed an open-label study to investigate an oral microbial therapeutic efficacy on depression and anxiety at Providence Care Hospital in Kingston. Currently, Arthi is running a multi-site clinical trial at CAMH in Toronto and Providence Care in Kingston, looking at the efficacy of the microbial ecosystem therapeutic on symptoms of depression in comparison to a placebo alternative, otherwise known as the METDA study. In her six years in clinical research, Arthi has developed a particular interest in the fields of clinical neuroscience and psychiatry, particularly the effects of innovative treatments for mood and anxiety disorders. In her free time, Arthi enjoys painting, reading, and getting outside as much as she can!
