Overview
I am a dual trained neurologist and psychiatrist. My research activities bridge these two specialties, focusing on invasive and non-invasive neuromodulation approaches as well as novel pharmacological strategies for treatment-resistant mood disorders with an emphasis in neuroimaging and physiological biomarkers.
Academic Appointment
- Associate Professor, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Emory University School of Medicine
Education
Degrees
- MD from University of Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires
Research
Focus
- The focus of my research at this stage of my career is mostly in treatment-resistant depression and novel therapeutic approaches, with special emphasis in Deep Brain Stimulation, with special interest in advanced neuroimaging and neurophysiology to find biomarkers of disease.
