Biography
My research is broadly aimed at clarifying the risk factors involved in substance use and suicidal behaviours. Specifically, I am interested in delineating distinct and common pathways to substance use disorders and suicidal behaviors, by investigating aggregate genetic risks, their interaction with early adversity and proximal stressful life events, the subsequent development of psychological (resilience) and neuropsychological (impulsivity) characteristics, and their involvement in substance use disorders and suicidal behaviors. I am also interested in clarifying the causal influence of psychological and neuropsychological mechanisms by leveraging natural experiments (e.g., co-relative analysis).
