Dr. De Asis completed his residency training in Adult Psychiatry at New York University-Bellevue Health Center in 1996. After residency, he completed a 2-year NIMH funded T32 research fellowship at the Weill-Cornell Institute of Geriatric Psychiatry during which he studied functional neuroimaging in geriatric mood disorders. He trained in PET methods and published studies of functional neuroimaging in geriatric unipolar depression and bipolar disorder.
