    Research Associate

    Interests

    I am a postdoc working with Prof Petra Vértes, integrating neuroimaging, genetics, and single-cell transcriptomics to link adolescent neurodevelopment to psychiatric illnesses like schizophrenia and depression. I am also exploring new research directions in psychedelic neuroscience.

    Key Publications

    Cortical gene expression architecture links healthy neurodevelopment to the imaging, transcriptomics and genetics of autism and schizophrenia.
