    Interests

    Neurobehavioural Imaging Scientist with an interest in addiction disorders. Working at the intersection of neuroimaging, behaviour, cognition, and psychopharmacology. Clinical trials assessing the efficacy of medicines that manage and treat addictions. Mega-analyses of pooled neuroimaging datasets across multiple substance-using populations that offer reliable and reproducible brain markers of addiction disorders.
