Work/Research
- I conduct prospective studies that follow a range of characteristics in order to enhance identification of adolescents and young adults at high risk of psychosis, and also to predict who among them may eventually transition to psychosis and refine understanding of pathophysiology.
- I utilize the information from these longitudinal studies to develop novel targeted treatments and remediations.
