The Brain Dynamics Centre - Convenor of BRAINnet

My research interests include cognitive and affective neuroscience, neuropsychiatry and mental health, neuropsychopharmacology and genetics, biological bases of behaviour and individual differences, positive psychology and spiritual experience.

I am always interested in possibilities to collaborate with other researchers and strongly encourage enthusiastic and motivated students to undertake projects in areas relating to my interests.

My current research seeks to clarify depression heterogeneity and identify clinical, psychometric, neurogenetic and neuroimaging markers of depression and predictors of antidepressant response.
