The integration of human psychiatric neuroimaging with genetics (common and rare variants), epigenetics, and stem cell models, in the context of clinically-relevant research
Research in a Nutshell
My main area of research interest is to link neuroimaging techniques with underlying biology in a bottom-up approach in order to better understand debilitating neuropsychiatric disorders. My research therefore focuses on how causal factors (such as rare and common genetic variants) contribute to disease in terms of their impact on brain structure and function.
