Tal Burt, M.D.
Dr. Burt is a board-certified psychiatrist with more than 20-year experience in all phases of clinical development and particularly in the early-phase, proof-of-concept (POC), and microdosing stages of clinical development. He has led clinical research programs of drugs and devices in academia and industry, leading him to appreciate the challenges of new treatment development, including the expenses, wastes, uncertainties, and risks involved, and the considerable burden on public health and research ethics that ineffective translational and clinical development lead to. He worked with regulators, industry, academic, and patient advocacy stakeholders to address these challenges and accelerate development of novel therapeutics.
Dr. Burt has authored 45 peer-reviewed publications in clinical research and drug development including original drug development methodologies such as Intra-Target Microdosing (ITM), randomized-withdrawal designs, assessment of the impact of false-negatives on the productivity of treatment development, the first publications of Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) in major depression, the first comprehensive review of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), and a textbook on Outcomes Measurement in Clinical Psychiatry. He led early- and late-phase developmental programs of neuroscience compounds and was the founding Medical Director of two state-of-the-art POC research units part of Duke’s Global POC Research Network and was the Scientific Director of the network. He is the founder of the Phase-0/Microdosing Network, an international organization of multidisciplinary stakeholders with interests in accelerating translational drug development. He is currently a Clinical Research and Clinical Development Consultant.
