I am a Staff Scientist at the Keenan Research Centre for Biomedical Science and the Centre for Depression and Suicide Studies (St. Michael’s Hospital) and an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry, University of Toronto. I have published extensively on biological factors of treatment response and symptomatology in mood and anxiety disorders, including pharmacological and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) interventions for Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). My current research program focuses on the integration of task and resting-state neuroimaging, molecular and clinical factors to translate brain-behavior relationships into treatment selection strategies in MDD. I use novel neuroimaging and statistical techniques—including biologically-based subtyping and normative brain aging approaches—leveraging symptom and brain-based heterogeneity to predict antidepressant response to first-line pharmacotherapies.
